Below are two evocative pieces, a poem written by Isabelle Song, then in grade 4 and an essay written by Farrah Fang, then in grade 7. Both entered the Legion competition and both won first place municipally and regionally competing with students two years older than them. Both went on to the BC and Yukon provincial level, where Farrah did admirably and Isabelle won third place.

Hello, Liz. What a wonderful tribute to Lisa. She had worked in our company in Laguna Hills,CA that summer, or perhaps it was the summer before. My memory has quiet faded now.

However, I have a young friend who said that he was only in 3rd grade then when the teacher put on the TV in their classroom and no one really knew exactly what that attack meant.

I told him what it meant to me and that Lisa Frost was on that plane.

To your friend, Lisa.

Never forget.

For this generation, to this very moment, September 11th evokes such a difficult mix and range of emotions, yet one of the most powerful reminders of all is this one: we are Americans and above all else, in the toughest of times, we will ultimately stand together in aid, in comfort, and in determination.

Among the millions of people who saw the poppies on the Western Front was a Canadian doctor called Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. He was a medic in a dressing station very close to the front line near Ypres. John McCrae wasn't an established writer but he had had poems published back in Canada and as a military doctor he used what rest time he had to write poems in response to what he was experiencing during the war.

From 1914 to 1918, World War I took a greater human toll than any previous conflict, with some 8.5 million soldiers dead of battlefield injuries or disease. The Great War, as it was then known, also ravaged the landscape of Western Europe, where most of the fiercest fighting took place. From the devastated landscape of the battlefields, the red poppy would grow and, thanks to a famous poem, become a powerful symbol of remembrance.

A great surprise to me was the involvement and impact that the University of Toronto has had on Remembrance. I began to discover that members of the U of T community were spread across Europe about a century ago, including one influential man, John McCrae. He wrote "In Flanders Fields", which seems unimaginable to me. I had somehow gotten far closer to this poem that I had heard over and over and even studied but didn't know its origin. And this gave me a new perspective to the poem, and I can start to see the surroundings and community he valued next to me.

Last year, my faculty Engineering made this Cross centrepiece for Front Campus (above) and in memory of those students from U of T Engineering and the wider community that fought in The Great War and the Second World War. I'm grateful for them and their annual efforts put into making something memorable but also simple.

For those hoping to attend the event this year, U of T is hosting a live stream of the event on Wednesday 11th November 2020. I'll link more information about the event on different U of T campuses here and its recommended to sign up for the event in advance. If you're alumni, this might be a better place for you here.

You have heard the tolling of 11 strokes. This is to remind us that with Elks, the hour of 11 has a tender significance. Wherever Elks may roam, whatever their lot in life may be, When this hour falls upon the dial of night, the great heart of Elkdom swells and throbs. It is the golden hour of recollection, the homecoming of those who wander, The mystic roll call of those who will come no more. Living or dead, Elks are never forgotten, never forsaken. Morning and noon may pass them by, the light of day sink heedlessly in the West, But ere the shadows of midnight shall fall, The chimes of memory will be pealing forth the friendly message, "To our absent members."

The hour of 11 quickly acquired a somber meaning, and in the centuries that followed, became the synonym throughout Europe for someone on his deathbed or about to go into battle: i.e."His family gathered about his bed at the 11th hour," or "The troops in the trenches hastily wrote notes to their families as the 11th hour approached when they must charge over the top.

Strk suggested creating a similar poem for the 11th of September and sought reader submissions. Apparently, I'm the only one who sent any suggestions. In any case, Strk chose one of the three stanzas I sent in for his masthead. You can see it at his site. Having decided to change my original banner in memory of the victims of the WTC attacks, I selected one of the remaining stanzas, the one seen on my main page.

This is the second year running that More 4, a digital channel run by UK broadcaster Channel 4, has marked Remembrance Weekend with special programming focused on the war and war poetry.

Billy Collins was the U.S. poet laureate at the time of the 9/11 attacks. A year later, he wrote "The Names" in honor of the victims. He read the poem before a special joint session of Congress held in New York City in 2002, and reads it again now.

To celebrate Black History Month, we chose 11 inspiring poems to explore the rich tradition of Black poetry.

This famous poem was written by Langston Hughes, an important writer and figure during the time of the Harlem Renaissance, encapsulates the deep history of oppression and racism for black men living in America. Hughes uses poetry to speak out about this blatant discrimination in the 20th century and convey that despite his darker skin color and being constantly pushed aside by the white majority, he too is just as much an integral part of America. Although he speaks on the painful subject of racism, he still expresses that one day all will value the beauty and power of African American culture. Although written years ago, this poem embodies how the black community felt, and still feels here in America.

Margaret Walker, a poet and novelist from Birmingham, Alabama addresses the devastating history of slavery and the continuing effects of racism that were, and are, still endured by people of color. In this poem written in the 1930s, Walker yearns for a better future for children and people of color where equality and freedom will heal the wounds of the past. This collection of poetry awarded Walker as the first black woman to receive the Yale Series of Younger Poets award.
