Minister for Women, Seniors and Veterans Cailtin Tough is inviting Canberrans to remember the courage and sacrifice of our veterans on this Remembrance Day.
"Today marks 108 years since the guns fell silent on the Western Front, bringing an end to four years of devastating conflict and the loss of more than 60,000 Australian lives," Minister Tough said.
"At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, I encourage all Canberrans to pause and honour those Australians who have served.
"We honour those brave men and women who gave their life in service of their country and those who continue to serve.
"While Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War, it is also an opportunity to honour all Australians who have served our nation in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping operations.
"Here in the ACT, we are proud to be home to many current and former Australian Defence Force members, and their families. Their commitment, dedication and selfless service reflect a tradition of courage that has shaped our nation for generations."
Remembrance Day ceremonies will be held across the ACT, including the National Ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.
