80th Anniversary of the Raid at Dieppe
August 19, 2022
It was the honour of a lifetime to join veterans and our community to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Raid on Dieppe. Thank you to those who served and sacrificed. Thank you to the volunteers and City of Windsor for your partnership and helping with local logistics.
And a big Thank You to my friend and Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay for bringing this national ceremony home to Windsor. Dieppe impacted our community like no other in Canada. 553 landed. 53 returned. Dieppe is part of our local heritage. It is our community's story of service and ultimate sacrifice.
Let us recommit ourselves to honouring the legacy of these young men, and passing on the torch to future generations.
