Canadians will pause and remember those who fought for our freedom on this day with Remembrance Day ceremonies planned for numerous communities in and around Metro Moncton.
With two Canadian soldiers killed in Quebec and Ontario recently and June’s tragic RCMP shootings in Moncton, this year’s ceremonies could take on an even deeper meaning for many.
