We had an amazing - and timely - find in our #Archives today!

The cardboard backing in a frame indicated that it was made by a disabled soldier at the @redcrosscanada.bsky.social workshop in #yyj, AND the paper backing was old wallpaper with a #poppy design!

The #LogCabinMuseum is open 1-4pm today, featuring a special #MonthOfRemembrance exhibit.

It's #IndigenousVeteransDay, started after Kanien'kehaka/Mohawk veterans were denied placing a wreath during 1991 #RemembranceDay ceremony in Ottawa.

#Canada officially established the day in 1994.
