The Italian town of Ortona was the scene of one of the fiercest fights of the Second World War. Victory in the Battle of Ortona came at a huge cost when Canadians fought through to liberate the town.

Today, Ortona renamed its town square, home to the Price of Peace monument, the “Canadian Heroes Square” to honour those who fought in the battle. Read more about its significance through the story of Maria and Francesca LaSorda. Embassy of Canada to Italy

“The Royal Canadian Legion commends and supports the federal government’s roll-out of a trial program for Canada’s military Veterans at Transition Centre Petawawa, eventually destined for all transition centres across the country.

This program has the potential to successfully ease the often-difficult transition to civilian life faced by regular and reserve force Veterans and their families.

The Legion has long advocated for stronger initiatives in this area and has called for the specific funding of transition clinics for over a decade. We will continue to advocate for critical transition programs, integral to our Veterans’ well-being.”

- Thomas D. Irvine, CD, Dominion President

« La Légion royale canadienne approuve et soutient le lancement par le gouvernement fédéral d’un programme pilote pour les vétérans de l’armée canadienne au Centre de transition de Petawawa, destiné par la suite à l’ensemble des centres de transition du pays. Ce programme pourrait faciliter la transition vers la vie civile, une étape qui est souvent difficile pour les vétérans des forces régulières et de réserve ainsi que leurs familles. La Légion a longtemps plaidé en faveur de meilleures initiatives dans ce domaine, et réclame depuis plus d’une décennie du financement dédié aux cliniques de transition. Nous continuerons à revendiquer des programmes de transition indispensables, qui sont essentiels au bien-être de nos vétérans. »
