Regardless of the cold weather, our military women and men across the country are “rucking” up this month as part of their required training, and will be completing a 2 x 20 km weighted (10kg) ruck-march, in their own towns and cities on May 4 and 5.
#CALL TO VICTORY MARCH CLARINET PROFESSIONAL#
We are personally inviting and encouraging you, with your families, all Defence Team members, Veterans, and Canadians, to participate in this event, in your own community, or to join along with JTF Nijmegen marchers for a two-day march.Īside from its excellent training value for our professional force, this Victory March is symbolic of our long-lasting relationship with the Netherlands, dating back to the Second World War, where many Canadians gallantly found their final resting place in the cities and towns surrounding the immediate area of Nijmegen. To ensure the continued spirit of CAF participation in the 4DAAGSE, Military Personnel Command / Chief of Military Personnel (MILPERSCOM/CMP) is formally announcing the creation of the Victory March, as an official CAF-led event.

However, as our Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Joint Task Force (JTF) Nijmegen members were preparing to participate in the 104 th edition of this historic march in the Netherlands, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic led to its cancellation for the second year in a row. This year would have been Canada’s 69th year of providing a marching contingent in the annual International Four Days Marches Nijmegen (4DAAGSE). Victory March is symbolic of our long-lasting relationship with the Netherlands, dating back to the Second World War, where many Canadians gallantly found their final resting place in the cities and towns surrounding the immediate area of Nijmegen.
