The Vigil November 4-November 11
This remembrance project will individually witness the names of the 68,000 Canadians who lost their lives in WWI. For over 91 years Remembrance Day has been done in the name of the collective. Following the recent death of the last Canadian veteran from WWI it is fitting that we take seven days to remember their names one at a time. From the letters and journals of those who died in WWI we know that a recurring fear was that they might be forgotten. Students across Canada will therefore respond with a vigil this November that names each and every one of them one by one.he vigil will also take place simultaneously with a vigil in the historic city of Ypres (Ieper) Belgium. http://www.1914-1918.ca/vigil.html Memory is part of what makes us human. http://www.1914-1918.ca
