Canadian Merchant Navy Day - Sept. 3rd

[SARgirl]

I did a search before posting and I didn't find any applicable results.

I had not heard of "Merchant Navy Day" before. 

I did an internet search to find out information about this years festivities (official events, w/ photos, details etc...), but I didn't find anything???

An important gesture in 2001 was the creation of Merchant Navy Remembrance Day by the Canadian Parliament which designated September 3 as a day to recognize the contributions and sacrifice of Canadian merchant mariners.
