The Ghanaian Ex-soldiers were among thousands of Canada’s Veterans who marched in the 89th annual Warrior’s Day Parade at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) on Saturday, August 21st 2010. The Ex-Soldiers who have since 1994 participated in the Parade have won the 2nd place in the marching formation in 2005, 2006 and 2008.
The event, which was established in 1921, originally honoured veterans who served in the First World War. It has since grown to include the men and women who have served or are currently serving in Canada’s military, and is the longest-running parade of its kind.
