Canadians Committee Consists Featured Fell Juno Liberation Maple Remember Routes Separate Souvenir Tours Communes Pledged

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Canadian Maple Leaf sign located at Authie, France, along Juno Route 2. The sign serves as a poignant reminder of the Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice during the liberation of Europe in 1944. The Souvenir Juno Committee, comprised of over 60 communes, pledged to honor their memory. The three separate tours, each marked with a Maple Leaf on a red and white sign, pay tribute to the fallen heroes. Authie is twinned with North Baddesley in the United Kingdom, which in turn is twinned with Carpiquet, Normandy. This poignant connection between France, the UK, and Canada serves as a testament to the enduring bonds of friendship and gratitude forged during the darkest days of World War II. The year is 2009, and the sign continues to stand as a symbol of remembrance and hope.
