White Poppy Vigil: Remembering for Peace
November 11, 2025 | 12 to 1 PM | Halifax Central Library, 5440 Spring Garden Rd
Every year on November 11th, we pause to remember. But remembrance can be more than silence—it can be an act of peace.
The White Poppy Vigil, hosted by the Nova Scotia Voice of Women for Peace, invites our community to gather in front of the Halifax Central Library from 12 to 1 PM to reflect on the true cost of war and to renew our commitment to peace.
The white poppy is a symbol of remembrance for all victims of war—civilians and soldiers alike—and a reminder that we must work together to create a world without war. It asks us to hold space not only for loss, but also for hope, reconciliation, and courage in the face of militarization.
This year, we gather under the theme:
“To Remember is to Work for Peace.”
While military spending continues to rise, our call remains the same:
Fund Peace, Not War.
We believe our collective future depends on compassion, dialogue, and justice—not weapons and war.
Join us on November 11th to stand for peace, remember those affected by conflict, and imagine a world built on cooperation instead of destruction.
All are welcome. Bring a friend, a sign, or simply your presence. Together, we honour the past and commit to shaping a peaceful future.
