Outdoor Dinner Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of National Military Cemetery of Canada

Join us for a meaningful outdoor gathering as the Beechwood Cemetery Foundation commemorates the 25th anniversary of the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Armed Forces.

As the final resting place for more than 5,000 military members who served in nearly every major conflict in Canada’s history, the National Military Cemetery stands as a powerful symbol of honour, remembrance, and national pride. This milestone invites us to come together as families, veterans, and fellow Canadians to reflect, connect, and pay tribute to those who served.

This outdoor dinner offers a meaningful experience that brings people together while honouring the past and its lasting legacy.

The evening will feature a performance by Sophie Grenier, winner of La Voix Season 9 and recipient of the Breakthrough Artist award at the 2025 Gala Trille Or.

In partnership with Perley Health, six veterans, including two who served during the Second World War, have hand painted the centrepiece pots that will be featured at each table. Each pot will grow poppies, creating a powerful symbol of remembrance. These unique pieces will be available through a silent auction.

Be part of this memorable evening of reflection, community, and tribute.
