Each year, we set up a special Remembrance Day display — a small but meaningful space where our community can pause, reflect, and honour those who served. It’s not just poppies and candles; it’s a moment to stop and remember courage, sacrifice, and hope.

Remembrance Day gives us all a chance to say “thank you,” even silently, to the men and women who have served our country. It’s a reminder that their sacrifices helped shape the lives we enjoy today.

Visiting our display is also a way to feel connected. At 11 a.m. on November 11, people across the country pause together — and here, you can join that shared moment of reflection right in our store.

The display is an icon: remembering can turn sorrow into purpose and inspire us to cherish peace, kindness, and community. So, whether you stop by for a quick glance or take a few quiet minutes, we hope it leaves you feeling grateful, thoughtful, and maybe even a little lighter at heart.

Come by, pause, and honour those who gave so much — it’s a small gesture that will help you feel better.
