CTV honours Canada’s heroes – the courageous men and women who serve and have served in Canada’s military – with Remembrance Day 2024, airing this Friday, November 11 beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET. Airing on CTV, CTV Two, CTV News Channel, and live streamed on CTVNews.ca and on the CTV News GO app, the live, national broadcast is helmed by CTV News’ Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme from Ottawa’s National War Memorial. The 90-minute broadcast unites Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast, saluting the bravery, dedication, and sacrifice of Canada’s heroic veterans.
Joining LaFlamme to provide further commentary, insight, and historical context are CTV News’ Chief Political Commentator Craig Oliver, and Mercedes Stephenson, CTV National News Ottawa Bureau Reporter. Special guests also include Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, celebrated humanitarian and best-selling author; veterans advocate Master Cpl. Paul Franklin, who served in Afghanistan and lost both legs in a roadside suicide bombing; Minister of Veterans Affairs Kent Hehr; and Dwight Ball, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. In addition, CTV looks back at the First World War’s Battle of The Somme – which marked its 100th anniversary this past summer on July 1 – by exploring Canada’s past and future role in serving as peacekeepers internationally.
