每年双十一,达英国际学院都会举行一场庄严的仪式,届时应届的学生会成员将带领全校一起进行。而那些来自世界各地的学生通过亲身参与其中,也能更直观地了解加拿大的人文习俗。

加拿大国殇日 Remembrance Day

在加拿大双十一是一个比较庄重的节日,最初国殇日的设立,在1931年,当时加拿大国会正式通过决议将每年的11月11日设立为国殇日,英文称作Remembrance Day。但是,此后又发生了第二次世界大战,以及战后大大小小的局部战争和一系列相关的维和行动。所以,今天的国殇日,主要纪念在过去战争和维和行动中牺牲的所有将士。

纪念日当天在首都以及全国各地都会举办隆重的纪念活动,今年的纪念仪式因为疫情放缓而恢复到线下举行,但参加的人需遵守各地的疫情防控措施。在国会山举办的纪念仪式上,英女王的代表联邦总督 Mary Simon、总理特鲁多和他的妻子 Sophie Grégoire 等都参加了仪式,并向战争纪念碑敬献花环。加拿大退伍军人协会也在每年10月的最后一个星期五到11月11日期间销售佩戴的小红花,得到的钱用来资助有困难的退伍军人和他们的家属。

每年双十一,达英国际学院的师生也会提前进行准备。另外佩戴的花全校师生都可以拿取佩戴,并自由捐献。最后校方会全数交给加拿大皇家军人协会,帮助阵亡士兵的家属和伤残战士。

学生通过广播简述纪念日的由来、历史和发展至今的形式。也有学生准备了具有代表性的诗歌和书籍片段,一个个英勇烈士的事迹,让人深刻地认识到自由与和平的来之不易。

愿世界永远和平!

历史不仅有前车之鉴,更是我们拥护当下,走向和平未来的最大助力。我们传递知识,传承智慧,也为培养学生品质、社会责任感及价值观而不断努力。一场庄严的仪式,一次与历史碰面的机会,教会我们和平的珍贵,愿世界永远和平。
