All Canadians share a responsibility to keep Veterans’ stories alive, recognize the cost of war and honour their sacrifices that led to the privileges and peace we know today.
In the fall of 1944 and through the spring of 1945, Canadian soldiers served in Western Europe helping to liberate the Netherlands from German occupiers.
The Government of Canada is committed to recognizing those who have contributed to the well-being of Veterans and their families, and to keeping the memory of their contributions, sacrifices, and achievements alive.
