1.) 900 square miles of federal land in the National Capital Region is dedicated to the memory of Canadian soldiers. The Hon. Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Veterans Affairs, and the government of France recently prevented a developer from building condominiums on the beaches of Normandy. Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach during the D-Day invasion, June 6, 1944. The governments of Canada and France bought the Normandy property.
