Hi Everyone,
The Career Education and Settlement Fair (see your handout and the link below) looks like a fantastic field trip opportunity for LINC 7students. It takes place at the Vancouver Public Library and is free!
It takes place

workshops, resume clinics, pronunciation classes and more.
Here's a link to information about Greater Vancouver's Remembrance Day ceremonies on Wednesday. One of the main ceremonies that day is at the Victory Square Cenotaph downtown.

*You may have to do some extra research too!
*Why is the service held at Victory Square?
*Where is it located? (use Google Maps)
*What is a cenotaph? What does it symbolize?
What choir will sing at the start of the ceremony?
*What is the "ultimate sacrifice"?
The Last Post is a piece of music. What instrument plays this piece of music? (see picture below)
What is a 21-gun salute?
*What is the RCAF?
What is a fly-past? When does it happen on Wednesday?
After this, what piece of music will be sung by the choir?

Please bring your answers to class on Thursday!!
The City of Vancouver works with the Vancouver Remembrance Day Committee to recognize the contributions our Veterans have made and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Canada. The Remembrance Day Ceremony and Parade will begin on Wednesday, November 11 at 9:45am at the Victory Square Cenotaph at West Hastings Street and Cambie Street.
At 10:00am veterans, military marching units and bands will be led to Victory Square by the Vancouver Flag Party. The cenotaph ceremony starts at 10:30am.
At 11:00 am the Last Post will be sounded. There will be Two Minutes of Silence, during which a 21-gun salute by the 15th Field Artillery Regiment will be heard from Portside Park. Rouse and Lament will follow. The RCAF will conduct a fly-past moments later, weather permitting. The enduring In Flanders Fields will then be sung by the Bach Youth Choir and Sarabande and wreaths will be placed at the Cenotaph.
A feature will be a combined performance by the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service and the Regimental Pipes and Drums of the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada.
Here is a link to a 2 minute video of the ceremonies from last year. This video features some of parade and the fly-past, as well as the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph.
