Warriors' Day Parade

If you've never been to Warrior' Day, I highly recommend going. Last year was my first chance to attend the CNE during Warriors' Day. It was highly invigorating. There were many displays to view for both adults and children. Many of our Veterans were in attendance- all to thank with sincerest gratitude. The Musical Salute in the evening is phenominal - bringing tears to the eyes as they had commemorated our troops serving overseas. Be sure to mark it on your calendar. See you at the EX.

The 88th Warriors' Day Parade will be held on Saturday, August 22nd, 2009 at 10:30am at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For more information, click here. or go to: http://www.warriorsdayparade.ca/

The 2009 parade is dedicated to the Centennial of the Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC). Today more than 7500 CIC officers supervise 59000 cadets in 1156 corps and squadrons across Canada. The CIC is one of the most diversified and active components of the Canadian Forces whose goal is to ensure that cadets benefit from the best training possible and that they develop their skills to the fullest. The Warriors' Day Parade is proud to mark this significant anniversary.

Established in 1921, The Warriors' Day Parade takes place in August of each year during the opening weekend of The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The longest-running, annual parade of its' type, The Warriors' Day Parade is an important Canadian tradition and a very significant event for our Veterans, our brave men and women who currently serve in Canada's military, their families and the general public.

The Warriors' Day Parade is a unique and spectacular event that includes the colour, sound and traditions of Regiments and Squadrons as well as the recognition of those who served and those who serve today. Since 1921, the Parade has provided an opportunity to celebrate our military victories.
For participants and spectators, it is also an opportunity to show deep appreciation for the priceless gift of freedom given to us by our Veterans and those brave women and men presently serving in the Canadian Forces.

All members of the public are invited to view the Parade along its' route or from inside the Ricoh Coliseum at the CNE Grounds Toronto, ON. The Ricoh Coliseum is also fully accessible to the handicapped and has washroom facilities inside the facility. Since the saluting dais is located inside the Ricoh Coliseum, all bands will be playing once they enter and as they march past the Saluting Officer. An announcer will also provide information about each contingent.
Right after the parade is finished, ‘Salute to Heroes’, a magnificent mini-tattoo presented by the CNE
will also take place in the Coliseum so you won’t even have to leave your seats to continue enjoying
the show.

If you have not attended The Warriors' Day Parade before you are in for a very special experience. If you have participated previously the Warriors Day Council sincerely welcome you back.

Look forward to seeing you in August!
