A tribute will be paid to war reporters, and in particular to Marcel Ouimet.
A war reporter sent by Radio-Canada, he landed on the beach at Bernières-sur-Mer with the Régiment de la Chaudière on June 6, 1944, aged just 29. From the Normandy landing beaches on D-Day, to the surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945, Marcel Ouimet covered everything from day to day. He followed the Liberation of Caen and Paris, and even entered Hitler?s bunker.
In the presence of the Ouimet family and the 3rd British Infantry Division.
