Sunnybrook Veterans at Saturday’s Warriors’ Day Parade

by  • 

If you were on Bayview early this morning you may have seen the procession of buses heading southbound with a generous amount of motorcycles providing a police escort. The VIP’s on board were a few dozen residents from Sunnybrook Veterans Centre, along with Sunnybrook staff and veterans’ family members. They were among the hundreds of people that attended the 100th anniversary of the Warriors’ Day Parade at The Exhibition grounds this morning. CBC

The Parade’s website says, “The Warriors’ Day Parade is a unique and spectacular event that includes the colour, sound and traditions of our 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.”
