We remember. Global News is back with its annual Remembrance Day coverage that honours the brave and selfless Canadians who have served in the armed forces. With nation-wide coverage of impactful student-led movement, No Stone Left Alone, to a commemorative edition of Global National featuring segments broadcast live from the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Global News is proud to present comprehensive coverage that honours our nation’s history and encourages Canadians to remember.
The No Stone Left Alone Memorial Foundation operates Remembrance Day events for students with the mission to place poppies on the headstones of veterans, while educating the public on the stories of sacrifice by members of the armed forces. Since its launch in 2011, more than 100 ceremonies now occur in 68 communities across Canada and are attended by elected officials, military, indigenous leaders, and local dignitaries.
