“Together, let us remember those brutally murdered by the Nazi regime and join as one to reaffirm our collective commitment to ‘Never Again’.”

In Honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day in Ottawa, Mayor Watson presented a Proclamation of the Day. The Mayor Proclaimed January 27th as International Holocaust Remembrance Day in Ottawa and urged all citizen of Ottawa to commemorate this day to honor all victims of the Nazis. This is the first time such a proclamation is made in Ottawa. With anti-Semitism on the raise, the Mayor’s Proclamation is clearly very meaningful and special. Annette Wildgoose, a CHES committee member and a child of a survivor from Germany, accepted the Proclamation at the event on behalf of CHES and all partners.
