The schoolchildren have a central role to play in convincing them that war must be avoided, peace cannot be taken for granted and everything must be done to preserve freedom.

The 80th anniversary of the commemoration will be celebrated with special attention for family members of the Canadian liberators and guest speakers from Canada.
