Commemorative Flag to fly at City Hall
Marking the 75th year since the Normandy invasions by allied forces, a City of Toronto Flag was sent to the Juno Beach Centre in France. The flag that was flown on Juno Beach on April 9, 2019, Vimy Ridge Day, commemorates the heroism and sacrifice of Canadian Troops on Juno Beach on D-Day. The flag was returned to the city and will fly on the Podium Roof of city hall on Remembrance Day and each year on June 6.
