Whike riding my bike, I often get yelled at by drivers "Get in a bike lane!". Appropriate responses are; "Sir, I am in a bike lane!" Or "Don't worry, there will be one here soon." They hate the second 😀

SCAM ALERT! A Saanich resident alerted us to a text message they received claiming they were caught speeding in a school zone. In the text, the recipient was provided a YouTube link to pay a fine. This is a scam! Traffic violations are issued in person by a police officer, or by physical mail sent by a Provincial agency. We will not contact you by phone or text requesting payments. If you receive such a text please do not respond, don’t click the link, and don’t send money or share your financial information. #YYJ

Decoration Day, Armistice Day and Remembrance Day have all been days to honour Canada's veterans. For a time, our day of remembrance fell on the same day as Thanksgiving. But Remembrance Day as we know it has been celebrated 1931. This is the story. Before there was ever an Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, there was Decoration Day. Held on the weekend closest to June 2 it honoured the Battle of Ridgeway fought on June 2, 1866. The battle saw 850 Canadian fight 750 Irish-American during the Fenian Raids. During the raids, nine Canadians were killed and 33 were wounded. The first Decoration Day was held in 1890, when flowers were laid at the foot of the Canadian Volunteers Monument at Queen’s Park in Toronto to honour the 24th anniversary of the battle. From 1890 to 1918, Decoration Day was the day to remember those killed during the Fenian Raids, the NW Resistance and the First World War. After the First World War, a motion was introduced in Parliament to create Armistice Day, held on the second Monday of November. On Nov. 6, 1919, an appeal was issued to King George V. He stated that Armistice Day should honour the end of fighting of the First World War, with two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11. This was the case for two years until May 1921. In 1921, an Act of Parliament declared that Armistice Day would be held on the Monday closest to Nov. 11 and that’s also when Thanksgiving would be celebrated. Making two holidays into one was unpopular with both the public and veterans. In 1931, MP A.W. Neil introduced a motion to have Armistice Day be observed on Nov. 11. MP C.W. Dickie moved that the day be known as Remembrance Day, rather than Armistice Day, to put the emphasis on the soldiers, and not the end of the war. That is how the Armistice Day Act was adopted, and Nov. 11, 1931 marked the first ever Remembrance Day in Canada. Since then, the day has commemorated not just those who served in the First World War, but Second World War, Korea, Peacekeeping, Afghanistan and more. I hope you enjoyed that look at the history of Remembrance Day. If you enjoy my Canadian history content.
