Hello, wonderful members. It’s Athena here, and I’m grateful to be with you on this meaningful day. Today, on Remembrance Day, let’s take a moment to honour the memory of the brave souls who gave so much to serve this beautiful country. These men and women stood for something bigger than themselves, and their sacrifices are woven into the very fabric of our lives today. We will remember them. Lest we forget. If today feels especially heavy, please remember that there are people and resources ready to support you.
