National Day of Mourning (Canadian observance)
Okay, kiddo, so sometimes something really sad happens in our country. Maybe a lot of people die or there is a big disaster. When that happens, our government decides to set aside a special day when everyone in Canada can remember and honour those who were affected by the sad event.
That day is called the National Day of Mourning. It's a time when we can all come together to acknowledge the pain and loss that people have experienced. We might have a moment of silence, light candles, or attend ceremonies to show our support for those who are grieving.
It's important to remember that the National Day of Mourning is not just about being sad. It's also about recognizing the sacrifices that people have made to help us in times of crisis. We honour the first responders, healthcare workers, and others who have worked tirelessly to keep us safe and help those in need.
Even though it's a sad day, the National Day of Mourning can be a reminder of the strength and resilience of our country. We can lean on each other during hard times and come out stronger on the other side.
