The Barrie Legion is hosting a parade and ceremony to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. This is a special day to honour and pay tribute the brave veterans who fought in WWII and to celebrate their legacy and the freedom they secured for us. Throughout the afternoon, there will be music and events for everyone to enjoy.
In 2025, we honour the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War with May 8th marking Victory in Europe Day (VE Day). More than 1,000,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the Second World War, with more than 40,000 paying the ultimate sacrifice. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 147 (Barrie) is commemorating the occasion with a series of events to honour and recognize our brave soldiers. Visit the City of Barrie's webpage, Events & Initiatives Honouring our Canadian Armed Forces, for more events.
