The legacy of good will between the people of the Netherlands and Canada is a story of friendship and kindness. Enjoy the story of the 8th Hussars and their role in nurturing good will during and after the end of World War Two.

Visit the Park in Goderich

The park has been a centre of celebration of freedom for Dutch-Canadian's in Huron County. This is where Princess Margriet of the Netherlands unveiled a plaque on May 14th, 2017, and signed a scroll of gratitude expressed for the Canadian sacrifice in the Liberation of the Netherlands. Twenty Huron County men gave their lives in the campaign to free the Netherlands. This website honours and remembers them as we celebrate the special bonds of friendship between our countries.
