Each year, the National Youth Remembrance Contests invite Canadian youth to honour our Veterans and keep the tradition of Remembrance alive through artwork and writing. With the support and encouragement of teachers in our local schools, students are inspired to take part and share what Remembrance means to them. Today we celebrate our Branch winners whose entries may advance through Branch, provincial, and national levels—where top awards include cash prizes and, for First Place Senior winners, the opportunity to attend the National Remembrance Day Ceremony in Ottawa.
