If asked: why the colour red? Here are the
reasons:
·
Red is the official colour of Canada
·
Red reflects the colour of poppies, hence in honour of
Remembrance Day
·
Red is in honour of our soldiers who lost their life by
defending our country
There is a Canadian English Foundation called: «Red Friday». It is responsible for promoting wearing «red on Fridays», a custom more popular among the Anglophone population; however it has over the past years, reached popularity also among the Francophone population.
Members of RIDE IN RED strongly encourage people to
wear something red every time there is an event for Soldiers or Veterans. It is
a simple gesture and very much appreciated.
Thank you for your interest in this worthy cause!
