REMEMBRANCE DAY
BELLS OF PEACE
On 11 Nov, at the going down of the sun,
communities across Canada will mark the 100th anniversary
of the end of the first World War with the ringing of 100 bells.
The bells will emulate the moment in 1918 when
church bells across Europe tolled as 4 years of war
had come to an end. 
At sunset, 5:00 pm in Nova Scotia,
when you hear the bells toll, take a moment to remember
all those who served and sacrificed. 
We Will Remember Them.
