One thing that is also really important about the education the kids get in school is that, particularly for new Canadians who come from parts of the world where this isn't commemorated, this is how those families learn about its importance to Canada and about the sacrifice that our men and women have made. The kids learn about it in school, and then they go home and tell their parents. That's often how you'll get uptake with new Canadians who then say, “Well, this is the reason we have this great country, and I wanted to come here. I'll go pay my respects.”
