As Remembrance Day approaches, we at CKUA are grateful for the service and sacrifice of Canada’s veterans. You’re invited to join us for our broadcast day.
We remember. We hope that the world will know peace in our lifetimes. We also thank Canada’s veterans, and those who continue to serve.
At 11:00am on Tuesday, November 11, CKUA will play The Last Post, and we will observe two minutes of silence.
