Canada 150

The big big deal will be in Ottawa on 1st of July. Although there are few published plans for the day, you can bet there will be a crush of things going on. Therefore, I agree to avoid Ottawa or a major city. I would also suggest any auspicious date/weekend from WW2. It doesn't matter which, but pick one and set it in stone. Otherwise, every Tom, Dick and Harry will step on your planning.

I agree Terry. The Ottawa event will be huge, and no doubt will receive multi-millions for the event. However, despite a clash in dates it could be done. Planning committee, then choose a central location in a municipality willing to host. Round up every single person in the loop. Not a last hurrah, but it could be a stunning event and tribute. Grapevine says Coe Hill is done, tired war-horses and no more government funding. As we all are getting.
Lest We Forget.
