June 6th marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day. On this day 75 years ago, Canadian soldiers stormed Juno Beach in Normandy, France, marking the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany.

The sacrifices made by Canadians, on D-Day and throughout the war, paved the way for us to live in free and democratic societies.We remember all those who have served and those who paid the ultimate price for Canada.

It was an honour to attend a tree-planting ceremony to recognize the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and to welcome the Canadian Tulip Festival/Hwy of Heroes Living Tribute garden at Beechwood Cemetery.
