OTHS Announcement - 2026-2027

Remembrance Day

It is about honour and respect and talk about the history and what the poppy represents and why we will remember.  All Homeroom Teachers have the poppy packages and are asked to hand out to the students during period 1 today. When you wear your poppy, wear it proudly and respectfully. On your left side, close to your heart. It reminds us of the courage and sacrifices of those who served Canada, and our responsibility to remember them and work for peace.

This past Sunday, Nov 8, was National Indigenous Veterans Day, an annual observance to honor the military service, courage, and sacrifice of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people.  While exact statistics of how many served still remain unknown, the rate of Indigenous participation in Canada’s military efforts over the years has been impressive.

For example, Edith Anderson Monture. She left her job as an elementary school nurse to join the Medical Corps in 1917, working overseas to attend to the sick and wounded soldiers.  Charles Henry Byce, was Canada’s most highly decorated Indigenous soldier of the Second World War. He earned his first decoration for valour, and his second decoration the DCM (Distinguished Conduct medal). Tommy Prince, he enlisted in 1940, and was an active member of a versatile group. Despite being a Canadian Soldier, he was recommended for the Silver Star, an American decoration.
