Remembrance Day

On November 11th, we willWe observe Remembrance Day,Day on November 11 each year. It is a time to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who have defended our freedom and peace. As a Christian community, we come together in reflection and gratitude, remembering those who have given their lives for others, a model of sacrificial love exemplified by Jesus Christ (John 15:13).

We believe this observance allows our students to embody the HCOS Biblical Attributes of Community and Restoration. The Community attribute reminds us that “Students will discover that they have a unique role to play in a living and growing community; they will seek to discover their own gifts and skills, and to affirm the gifts and skills of others.” The Restoration attribute calls us to be "compassionate peacemakers and participants in God's mission to bring about the restoration and reconciliation of all things according to His intention for creation."

During this time of reflection on the sacrifices made for our nation’s freedom, our team has assembled resources to support your family in observing Remembrance Day. As our community pauses to remember, we pray that we may honour those who served and continue to seek ways to fulfill God’s mandate of peace, restoration, and unity.
