In Canada, Remembrance Day is a federal holiday – except for in Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Quebec and Ontario.

The discussion on if Remembrance Day should be a  holiday in Ontario has resurfaced once again.  Provinces such as Nova Scotia have a day off school for all students on Remembrance Day.

Are there benefits to being at school on this day, to reflect to question?Or, should this be a day as in 8 other provinces  where students can reflect at home or go to a war memorial with family or friends or whatever they feel is right for them.

 

My perspective is that student should be at school because some kids they don’t care and they won’t do it. Instead they will be home just watching Television. But there is some people that  when its the day off for remembrance day they go to the memorial they pray for each person when they died  Those are the people that are trustworthy
