June 6, 2024 marks as the 80th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. There's no public holiday in Canada (except for Quebec) in June. And this date should be remembered as on June 6, 1944, Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy (France) to open the way to Germany from the West. Victory in the Normandy campaign would come at a terrible cost. The Canadians suffered the most casualties of any division in the British Army Group.

It's true that We Remember on Remembrance Day (November 11), however that date pertains to WW1. D-Day was a monumental date in WW2 that should always be remembered and observed in Canada.
