And Sargent has a personal message to you on this Remembrance Day.
Sargent says the importance of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month can’t be overstated. Not only does it commemorate the signing of the Armistice at the end of the First World War, it serves as a precious moment for reflection and remembrance of Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice.
