As Remembrance Day approaches, we pause to honour the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. Their sacrifice reminds us of the freedoms we enjoy today.
At De Havilland Canada, we remember and thank all who have worn the uniform, including those within our own community who have served around the world.
Day of Remembrance
Please note that Remembrance Day is a company-observed day off. We encourage everyone to take a quiet moment of reflection or attend a local ceremony to pay tribute to those who gave their lives in service.
