Submissions for the Virtual Wall of Honour that will be on display at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony has been extended until November 1 at midnight.
On November 11, Canada will honour its deceased veterans in an outdoor display of their photos, projected near the National War Memorial in Ottawa, before the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony. Anyone is welcome to send a photo of a fallen Canadian veteran they would like to see in this act of Remembrance.
As a way to honour and remember relatives and friends who have served Canada, Canadians are invited to forward a photograph of a deceased veteran to Dominion Command to be displayed on large video screens located near the National War Memorial and shown prior to the start of the Remembrance Day Ceremony held on November 11.
Deceased Canadian Veterans (including those who were part of the Merchant Navy and Ferry Command), whose death was attributable to any cause, can be part of the Virtual Wall of Honour.
Only one submission is required, as the photograph will continue to be included on the Virtual Wall of Honour in all subsequent years.
- High resolution electronic files or high resolution photo prints (the quality of the image submitted dictates the quality of the image displayed)
- Include the veteran’s name, years of service, element or force, regiment/unit to which the departed belonged
- One image for each honoured veteran will be used
- Submissions for the 2018 Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance need to be received by November 1, at midnight. Later submissions will be included in the 2019 edition.
