I have a suggestion, and it can be accomplished with a bit of work.
Heritage Canada, under the auspices of Canada 150 is throwing away tons of money at every Tom, Dick and Harry for this. Form an organizing committee. Select a central location in Ontario. Plan outline for event. Apply for grant/funding. Round up every swinging MV owner and re-enactor in Ontario With a bit of work and planning, it could be huge. |

There is one event planned for 2017 in Goderich Ontario, if any one is interested please contact me. The committee organizing the event has asked me to get WW 2 vehicles for the street parade. Website address is: www.dutch-canadiansremember.ca

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. |
