Military Vehicles in Gastown, Vancouver – “The Highway of Heroes”

The portion of Water Street where the Military Vehicles will be on display will be called “The Highway of Heroes”
and dedicated to all of the fallen and serving Canadian Troops in Afghanistan and all other wars. The military vehicles have been supplied by the Canadian Military Education Center (CMEC)

The CMEC is an interactive, living history museum that purposefully educates Canadian students, teachers and the public about Canadian military history. The CMEC features displays that allow people to touch, feel and experience Canada’s military history through hands-on interactive displays. The CMEC houses one of Canada’s largest collections of restored military vehicles and equipment. CMEC’s ultimate goal is to have all Canadian citizens, especially our youth, deeply understand the sacrifices made by our Canadian soldiers and peacekeepers and to never forget. http://www.cmedcentre.ca/
