Culture & life

On Remembrance Day, November 11, at what time do many Canadians observe two minutes of silence?

  • A At 9 a.m.
  • ✓ At 11 a.m.
  • C At noon
  • ✕ At 6 p.m. Your answer

Not quite.

The silence is held at 11 a.m. because the First World War armistice took effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. Many people also wear a red poppy.
