How will you commemorate the world wars? As part of the Road to 2017, the Government of Canada is marking major milestones and battles and the social conditions that shaped the First and Second World Wars. These commemorations highlight the sacrifices of those who took part in these wars and provide opportunities for Canadians to honour those who contributed to the Canada we know today. The World War Commemorations Community Fund is a year-long funding initiative that ends March 31, 2016. Funding is available in the form of grants and contributions for national and community-based commemorative and educational projects. Please see the attached letter from The Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages regarding the World War Commemorations Community Fund.
