On August 9th 1974, nine (9) Canadian airmen were shot down in their Buffalo aircraft while on a mission with the United Nations Emergency Force in Syria, Egypt. At that time this was the single largest Canadian loss of life in one mission since the Korea War. As a special tribute to the Fallen, the Government of British Columbia proclaimed August 9th as Canadian Peacekeeping Memorial Day. It is a day when British Columbians come together in brotherhood and share in Acts of Remembrance, honouring the men and women of the Canadian Forces and their Fallen comrades.
Canadian Afghanistan Memorial to the Fallen
Canadian men and women continue to serve with pride and accomplishment in
the cause of peace throughout the world. Some missions are more dangerous than others and result in fatalities. Since 2002 Canada mourns the loss of one hundred and fourty-seven (147) members of the Canadian Forces, one (1) Canadian Diplomat and one (1) Canadian Journalist and two (2) aide workers.
