We are currently preparing for another busy year, 2007 was full of new events and we expect 2008 to be no different. If you are interested in supporting the CMRS or know of an event which would be worth our attending please contact us today.
Our most recent events can be viewed via the activities menu
While the CMRS was only formed in 2005, each year we are involved in more and more events and 2007 was our busiest year yet with the addition of additional public events including our first attendance in the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade. For 2008 we have the planned inclusion of our recently restored C8A Heavy Utility.
Our mandate is the preservation and public education of Canadian Military History with a four year plan to open a museum to the public in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
Our veterans from World War I are almost all gone with only one Canadian vet known to be still with us, those of World War II and the Korean War are fast fading. The founding members of this group grew up knowing many of these veterans and heard their stories first hand. As these veterans die off, their stories usually die with them and future generations will only know what happened by reading books or watching movies. The major parts played by Canada in various conflicts are often forgotten, especially now that our military is a pale shadow of its former self. Through parades, displays and this website, the Canadian Military Remembrance Society will help educate Canadians (and the world) as to the proud military history of this great country.
