Today, we mark the 81st anniversary of D-Day, and encourage all Canadians to take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought in the Battle of Normandy.

On this day, we encourage all to take a moment to remember the Miracle of Dunkirk.
Between May 27 and June 4, 1940, a ragtag fleet of 850 barges, ferries, fishing boats, lifeboats, and pleasure crafts, all summoned by the small-craft section of the British Ministry of Shipping, set sail from Ramsgate and made its way 40 kilometers across the English Channel.
Some acted as shuttles ferrying soldiers from the beaches to deep-draft warships offshore while others, sailing under relentless attack from Luftwaffe aircraft, carried hundreds of soldiers apiece back to England to fight another day.

1.5 million Canadians visiting food banks in one month.
1 in 5 people skipping meals.
How did we get here?
Liberal spending & inflationary deficits. #JustinFlation
Flash flooding, pooling water, strong winds, poor visibility, debris and the possibility of trees and power lines on roadways are expected this weekend as #Fiona makes its way through the province. Please stay off the roads unless it is an emergency.
With sadness we acknowledge the passing of Primary Care Paramedic Mark Gomes. He was humble, caring and full of compassion for his patients both in @RegionWaterloo & @GWParamedic. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones today. He is missed by all who's lives he touched.

Devastated to learn of the deaths of 4 members of the @CanadianForces at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario. Our thoughts are with the families affected and all members of the CAF at this most difficult time: https://t.co/d9irZHePb0
Life is a state of mind. If you want it, go get it! It takes a lot of hard work, compromise and sacrifice, but you can achieve your goals if you focus on them. One life to live folks, our days are numbered. Go out and conquer your dreams. Have fun, life is short. 👍🏼
A vaccination clinic today at Manoir de La Vallée in Atholville is one of 20 being held at long-term care facilities this week by @ANB_EMP to vaccinate 1,200 New Brunswickers.
New Brunswick’s COVID-19 public vaccination program is now underway. Miramichi resident Pauline Gauvin was the first New Brunswicker to receive the vaccine!
