On this day we gather round,

To remember those who have been found.

Their stories still we know.

Their legacy forever remains.
In fields of poppies, they now rest,
Their souls forever at peace, at best.

HONORING THE FALLEN

In the stillness of November’s embrace,

When autumn leaves whisper their final grace,
A ceremonial day emerges, somber and stark,
A time to remember, to honor, to mark.

Where poppies bloom, scarlet petals ignite,
A symbol of courage, bravery, the fight.

In silence, we stand, heads bowed and low,

Les concours se partagent en plusieurs niveaux de compétition.

Les affiches et les œuvres littéraires concourent d’abord
au niveau local des filiales de la Légion, d’où les œuvres
gagnantes progressent jusqu’au niveau provincial. Les vidéos
concourent d’abord au niveau provincial de la Légion. Les
finalistes provinciaux de tous les concours sont par la suite
soumis au jugement final de la Fondation nationale Légion
pour déterminer les gagnants nationaux.

Tous les lauréats au niveau national reçoivent un prix en

espèces pour leur œuvre. Les grands gagnants (1ère place)
de la catégorie sénior peuvent quant à eux prétendre à notre
prix le plus prestigieux, soit un voyage à Ottawa et l’occasion
de représenter la jeunesse du Canada lors de la cérémonie
nationale du jour du Souvenir.
