Veterans Week and the 75th Anniversary of the End of WWII
Canada joined the war on September 10, 1939 and it didn’t end until V-J Day on August 15, 1945 with the surrender of Japan. During this time, more than a million Canadians volunteered for service and more than 45,000 gave their lives. We are a country strong and free because of the sacrifice of these brave individuals.
Virtual Remembrance Day Celebrations
This Remembrance Day, things will be a little different. Instead of attending a parade or cenotaph memorial, Canadians will be celebrating the lives of those lost during wartime online.
