Remembrance day
All Canadian provinces commemorate Holocaust Memorial Days, which sometimes involve students taking part in commemorations alongside members of the public.
Many schools organize Remembrance Day events on 11th November. As part of these activities, students of all ages often receive supplementary Holocaust education, with younger students being introduced to the topic through personal stories.
At the federal level, the Government of Canada observes Holocaust Memorial Day − Yom HaShoah, the date of which is determined each year according to the Jewish lunar calendar. The date commemorates the death of millions of Jews, as well as other victims, including Roma.
The commemoration day was established in 2003, when the Canadian Parliament passed the Holocaust Memorial Day Act, and was celebrated for the first time in 2004.
