The Latest: Canadians gather to mark Remembrance Day

Canadians across Canada will pause at 11 a.m. on Remembrance Day to honor the sacrifices and service of members of the Canadian Armed Forces. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the start of the Afghanistan war, during which 40,000 Canadians served and 159 lost their lives. Ceremonies are taking place in the weeks following a tragic fire at Canadian Armed Forces Base Wainwright, where four soldiers were killed and dozens were injured during a wildfire that swept through a training exercise. The Canadian Press report was first published on November 11, 2026.
