Canada came of age during that war..
Out of a population just under 8 million over 600,000 served and a tenth of those died and many more returned wounded in mind or body.
This city took a big hit with the Halifax Explosion when a munitions ship collided with another in the harbour.
I imagine there will be a substantial observation for that in 2017.
