2nd Annual Remembrance Ceremony for the Latin-American Community in Canada

Join us on Sunday, October 15, 2023, at 10:45 AM for a Remembrance Ceremony for the Latin-American Community in Canada.

Where: National Military Cemetery
280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario.
For active duty members of the Canadian Armed Forces - Dress is DEU 1A (with medals)..

October is Latin American Heritage Month (LAHM) in Canada and we are proud to showcase the richness and vitality of Latin American cultures and heritage and to highlight their contributions to Canada.

As the National Military Cemetery, we want to honour the contributions of Latin Americans to the defence of our country dating back to the First World War. This was a challenging time for many Latin Americans. Many spoke Spanish as a first language, which wasn’t widely spoken by other military members.

Proudly supported by Latin American Soldiers Committee and VIVA YEG LATINO.
