The Canadian Battlefields Foundation undertakes programs to commemorate and promote public awareness of Canada’s role in the two World Wars and other wars of the 20th century.

The Foundation was established in 1992 to educate and actively promote public awareness of Canada’s role in the Second World War. Spend some time with us to learn more about our objectives of increasing public awareness of Canada’s contributions to peace and freedom in the wars of the twentieth century. Visit our recommended links and feel free to contact us with your comments or suggestions.
