DESCRIPTION:Remembrance Day: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Pop
 py\n\nThe Office of Student Academic Services in collaboration with the So
 nia Bujold Initiative has put together a lovely free online booklet about 
 Remembrance Day. Learn about the history and the people behind Remembrance
  Day and the symbol of the poppy. The booklet also includes the stories of
  six Canadian animals who served alongside our men and women.\n\nEvery yea
 r on November 11\, on the eleventh hour\, Canadians pause for two minutes 
 of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served\, and 
 continue to serve Canada during times of war\, conflict\, and peace.\n\nWe
  remember the more than 2\,300\,00 Canadians who have served throughout ou
 r nation’s history. We remember the more than 118\,000 who made the ultima
 te sacrifice.\n\nBut often\, the service of animals during times of milita
 ry conflict goes unmentioned. Horses\, donkeys\, mules and camels carried 
 food\, water\, ammunition and medical supplies to men at the front. Dogs a
 nd pigeons carried messages. Canaries were used to detect poisonous gas. C
 ats and dogs were trained to hunt rats in the trenches. Soldiers even used
  glow worms to read important messages or maps in the dark since they coul
 d not use lanterns at night because the enemy would see them.\n\nWhether p
 roviding comfort\, inspiration\, or indispensable service\, these animals 
 played a crucial role in military and armed conflicts for centuries.\n\nJo
 in us in giving thanks and remembering.\n\n\n	For children and adults of al
 l ages.\n	The activity booklet is available in both French and English.\n	Re
 gister now to receive your booklet on Monday November 8!\n	For questions or
  additional information\, please contact ingrid.chiraz[at]mcgill.ca  (Ingr
 id Chiraz).\n	Registrations will be accepted through November 12.\n\n
