Bells of Peace November 11, 2018: 100 years since the end of the First World War

The Last Post Fund was honoured to participate in the Bells of Peace initiative. On November 11, at the going down of the sun, communities across Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War with the ringing of 100 bells. The ringing of bells emulates the moment in 1918 when church bells across Europe tolled as four years of war had come to an end. Legion Branches and communities held commemorative ceremonies and special activities to help Canada Remember. At sunset on November 11, the bells rang at Parliament Hill, city halls, places of worship, military bases, Naval vessels and at ceremonies across the country to honour Canada's Veterans and commemorate the end of the First World War.
