Default Canadian Military Cemetary near Calais

Excuse my ignorance but we saw signs on the motorway/Autoroute from Boulogne to Calais [near Coquelles] for the Canadian Military Cemetary...was this a Great War one?
After driving through Calais we went into Dunkirk, and then into Belgium. Thoughts of Operation Dynamo and "Flanders Fields" from the previous war flooded. I have to say that Dunquerque was a very friendly place towards us Brits, and the local petrol station owner mourned the Franc as we did. Can't get used to the dreaded Euro...Vive le Franc!
