November is when people in Canada remember those who have served, and honour those who continue to serve, in the Canadian Armed Forces. Many wear poppies as an act of remembrance. From November 3 to 11, create your own — or any other emblem that reminds you of those who serve. From November 12 to 30, bring your ideas to life in three dimensions. Families with young children can come to our Studio to create artwork with coloured, clay-like plasticine.
