Each June 6, Toronto Remembers the courage and honour of those who fought in the Allied forces’ invasion of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. You are invited to join members of Toronto City Council in honouring those who took part in that campaign, which marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War. Approximately 14,000 Canadian soldiers fought on the beaches of Normandy — their mission, to invade and secure a stretch of the Normandy coastline code-named Juno. Toronto’s Queen’s Own Rifles received the worst battering of any Canadian unit on D-Day.
This year’s keynote speaker is Charles Scot-Brown, WWII veteran. Master of Ceremonies is Kevin Frankish.
