The liberation of the Netherlands:
One of the best-known chapters from Canada’s military history is the
liberation of the Netherlands during the Second World War. 2010 marks
the 65th anniversary of this significant event that created a lasting
bond between our two countries.
The Canadian Navy.
2010 marks the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy. From a modest
beginning of only two ships, it has grown to play an important role in
many of Canada’s military efforts over the years.
Francophone Canadians in WWII
It took the efforts of all Canadians, both on the home front and
overseas, to help the Allies to victory during the Second World War.
Francophone Canadians played an important role, including hundreds of
thousands of women who were called on to fill new, non-traditional roles
in factories, on farms and in the military. Veterans Affairs Canada has
an engaging multimedia Web feature about the many contributions and
sacrifices made by French-speaking men and women from coast to coast.
