Each year, on November 11, Canadians pause to remember the brave men and women who served—and continue to serve—our country in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. Remembrance Day is a solemn moment to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who gave their lives for the freedoms we cherish today.
A Time for Reflection and Gratitude
At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, the nation stands still. The sound of the Last Post echoes across communities, as red poppies bloom proudly on lapels. The words “Lest We Forget” remind us that remembrance is not only a tradition, but a duty—a promise to ensure the legacy of our fallen heroes endures in our hearts and actions.
From the battlefields of Vimy Ridge and Normandy to peacekeeping missions around the world, Canadians have stood for justice, freedom, and compassion. Their selflessness continues to inspire generations to live with courage and integrity.
Shawarma and Community: A Small Gesture of Thanks
At Shawarma Royale, we believe that food has the power to bring people together to share stories, comfort hearts, and express gratitude. On this Remembrance Day, we pause in honour of those who sacrificed so much for us.
As a proud part of this diverse Canadian community, we are deeply thankful for the peace and opportunity we enjoy today. We recognize that these privileges were secured through immense bravery and loss.
In our own small way, we show appreciation by serving our community with warmth and kindness—values that reflect the unity our heroes fought to protect. Whether you’re stopping in for a shawarma wrap, a meal shared among friends, or a moment of quiet reflection, we invite you to remember those who made it all possible.
Lest We Forget
This Remembrance Day, let’s take a moment to look beyond our daily routines and remember the lives that were given, the families that mourned, and the freedoms that were earned. Let’s honour them, not only with silence, but with compassion, gratitude, and unity in our daily lives.
Lest we forget.
