The association requested Halton Hills, Halton Region as well as Oakville, Milton and Burlington purchase Memorial Bricks to support the Juno Beach Centre located in Normandy, the site of the Canadian army landing in France on D-Day, June 6, 1945. The bricks are commemorative engraved plaques listing the name of the veteran who gave their lives during the Second World War, and also includes their rank, decorations, unit, service date and location of service such as "Italian Campaign". It will be placed on a kiosk walls outside the centre's front entrance.
