Some of the poppies growing in the median of Memorial Drive in northwest Calgary, when they were in full bloom back in the summer.

COVID-19 has made it more difficult for Canadians to attend public ceremonies taking place for Remembrance Day. Despite obstacles caused by the current health crisis, there’s nothing stopping us from taking time today — and really, any day — to reflect on how the sacrifices made by veterans throughout our history have shaped our country. Lest we forget.

It appears as if this flower knew the right place to bloom, helping to create this funky colour-appropriate juxtaposition. Seen in Calgary a few days ago.
