Remember November
During Veterans’ Week, November 5 to 11, 2009, hear the stories of three Canadian soldiers — stories much like those of thousands of Canadians who served their country. Pick up an MP3 player at the Capital Infocentre, 90 Wellington Street, in Ottawa. With your audio-guide, take a walk over to the National War Memorial and pay tribute to Canada’s veterans and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for peace and freedom.
A security deposit of $20 is required ($100 maximum for groups).
