In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead; short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

“That’s Canada to Me” by Mike Ulmer
From Atlantic to Pacific, from St. John’s to B.C., there’s a place like no other, that’s Canada to me. We are new maples growing tall, our roots cross time and seas,
to countries all the world around, that’s Canada to me. We weren’t the first to walk this land, it’s written in history that Natives helped newcomers live, that’s Canada to me.
Our flag is red, then white, then red, we all take pride to see different colours standing side by side, that’s Canada to me.
We all feel the winter’s frosty bite and summer’s welcome breeze.
We love the land, canoes and camps, that’s Canada to me.
So meet me where the Mounties ride and lighthouses line the sea.
Where hockey’s king, and kindness lives, that’s Canada to me.
