About Remembrance Day
The guns of the First World War went quiet at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918, and that is the hour people still stop. In Canada people hold two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., and the national ceremony is at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Poppies from the Royal Canadian Legion are worn from the last Friday in October.
Federal offices close and Canada Post does not deliver mail. Most provinces make it a statutory holiday. Ontario and Quebec don't, so schools and most businesses there stay open.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2026,11,11)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Friday, October 16, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
