Because all of the Second World War’s 75th anniversaries in May were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in light of the upcoming Aug. 15 anniversary of the end of the Second World War celebrations questionable, as well as the upcoming Remembrance Day ceremonies uncertain due to group restrictions, a Canadian Remembrance Torch challenge has been created called Saskatchewan Proud!
Residents are given an opportunity to participate before Saskatchewan Day with a deadline of Aug. 3, 2020 to recognize the Second World War’s 75th anniversaries, honour Canadian veterans, and show their pride.
The Challenge is: 75 remembrance torch photos — each taken at one of the thousands of lakes named after Saskatchewan’s WWII veterans.
It’s easy to participate. Create your personal remembrance torch (https://canadianremembrancetorch.ca/the- torch-be-yours/), go to your special location, hold it high, and remember our veterans’ legacy of peace, freedom, and friendship.
Photos of “holding it high moments” will be shared on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and The Canadian Remembrance Torch’s website and become part of a special Remembrance Week tribute in November.
You are encouraged to join The Canadian Remembrance Torch challenge!
