Published on May 26, 2024

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will travel to France next month for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Prime Minister Trudeau will spend two days in France to attend D-Day events including a Canadian ceremony at Juno Beach on the morning of June 6, marking exactly 80 years since 14,000 Canadians stormed the beach as part of a massive Allied forces operation. An international ceremony will be held later the same day on Omaha Beach. On June 5, a memorial will take place at the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian war cemetery where 2,049 Canadian soldiers are buried. D-Day is considered to be the beginning of the end of the Second World War, ultimately leading to the Allies liberating Western Europe from the Nazis less than a year later....
