History of “Red Friday”
"Red Friday" typically refers to when Canadian Armed Forces members are encouraged to wear red as a symbol of support for deployed troops and veterans. This tradition originated from "Support Our Troops" initiatives, where wearing red on Fridays became a visible display of solidarity and gratitude for the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families. It's a way for civilians and military members alike to show their appreciation and recognition for the service and dedication of those in the armed forces.
