</span></o:p></span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: Arial;">The reason why people wear something red is
to show their support toward our Canadian Forces Troops. It is also a way for
us to thank our troops</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <span style="background: white; color: black;">for the work they do and the sacrifices
they make. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Red</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> reflects the colour of poppies, hence in honour of

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Red</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> is in honour of our soldiers who lost their life by
defending our country </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">There is a Canadian English Foundation called: «<b>Red
Friday</b>». It is responsible for promoting wearing </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">«</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">red on Fridays</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">»</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">, a custom more popular among the
Anglophone population; however it has over the past years, reached popularity
also among the Francophone population. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 11.25pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Members of <b>RIDE IN RED </b>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. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; mso-line-height-alt: 11.25pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">Thank you for your interest in this worthy cause!</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
