80th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands

May 5, 2025

Eighty years ago, Canadian soldiers helped liberate the Netherlands, showing immense bravery and dedication in the fight for freedom.

As a Dutch immigrant and MPP for Oxford, I understand the profound impact of their sacrifice. Their courage not only freed a nation but also built a lasting bond between Canada and the Netherlands — a bond that continues to shape our community today.

Even though I was not able it to Norwich for the flag raising ceremony today I am still remembering Liberation Day and honouring their legacy and the freedom they helped secure.
