Remembrance Day Field Trip

 

Blow wind, come rain, gather the multitudes on Queen Street, yet did we get to sing most of the hymns we practised for and offer affirmation and gratitude to the sacrifice of our fallen heroes. And then it was off to the PATH Underground City and lunch, all warm, safe, and cozy beneath the opulence of Canada's Commerce Court.

Arriving on the dot, on not the brightest of days

Adrian shows the way!

All smiles, Chang, Fides, Shahina, Elyza, Cheyenne, Mohammad, and Adrian. But where's Louis, Yang Yang, and Tracy?

Why do you think that's a "fine building" back there?

Multitudes upon multitudes on this the 11th of November

Eleven was a long time coming, but at last it tolled.

In troop the colours!

Up go the umbrellas!

It's "light rain," we know.

Wreaths underground as well! Walking the PATH.

CIBC, TSX, and other financial Deloittes in Commerce Court!

Butt someone has a problem with the elephants.

Guess who suddenly materialize at the subway station?

We saw the movie, yay!

Next Monday is Remembrance Day, and we are going to the following venue:

10:45 a.m. 
Toronto Old City Hall Cenotaph 60 Queen Street West, Bay & Queen Streets Program (PDF)

As a class, let us leave from the Southbound Platform at Sheppard Yonge Station at 10 a.m. Those living around Don Mills Station may want to meet there earlier, outside the coffeeshop near the train platform, at 9:30 a.m.

Some of you might wish to bring a warm jacket or umbrella, depending on the weather. After the ceremony, we may be able to do some navigating of Downtown Toronto together and/or get some lunch. So bring some lunch money and, of course, your cameras!

And if you remember your songsheets, too, why not?
