I agree entirely about some of the things that are happening in schools across the country. They are outstanding events, and the best ones often are when the students themselves have organized them. They are the most moving. They're fantastic.
This includes our overseas events, which some of the members of the committee have participated in. Each time we have had an event organized by the youth on the delegation—not always, but where we've had larger numbers of youth—those have been, without exception, the most emotional events of the overall trip.
We do, in fact, spread ideas across the country. We do try to accumulate them and then disseminate them. No one part of the country has a monopoly on good ideas, so we try to spread those across the country as much as possible.
The candlelight tributes take place in many communities across the country. Each time, they're somewhat different. Each organization tailors it to what suits their needs.
The one that takes place here in Ottawa actually pairs a veteran and a young person. They together take a candle up and place it.
In other cases, they do it in cemeteries across the country where veterans' graves are in great numbers. They place the candle at dusk in front of each veteran's grave in the cemetery. The candle burns all night, or for a period of time, and they recover the candles to use them again in the future.
Each of these is somewhat different across the country. All are very moving.
