All welcome at Peacekeepers Memorial Service in Windsor

On Sunday, residents are invited to honour peacekeepers who have died while trying to bring peace to people around the world.

There will be a special memorial service for them at Reaume Park. The service gets underway at 11 a.m.

The family-friendly service will honour fallen peacekeepers who "stood at the ready defending democracy and safeguarding fundamental civil liberties by advancing non-violent solutions to conflict," said a release.

Veteran Affairs Canada says Canada played a key role in creating the concept of the United Nations peacekeeper by monitoring ceasefires, patrolling buffer zones, clearing landmines, and investigating war crimes.
