It is noteworthy that this year marks the 55th anniversary of the liberation of Holland from German occupancy and holds special meaning for the Dutch. All of 8 Wing should be proud that they will have a strong and able team to proudly represent them and all Canadians in this prestigious and highly privileged event. The intent of this page is to allow all Wing members, friends and families and other Nijmegen enthusiasts to follow along with this years 8 Wing Team. Although the road ahead will be long and at times bumpy, the final destination is that of finishing the March together as a Team. Being a representative of Canada and the Canadian Forces provides more than enough incentive to bear this challenge and to continue to strive for excellence though teamwork.
Teamwork is the most important criteria in separating the strong from the weak.
Strong leadership, an outstanding level of physical fitness, and an intense desire to succeed in extremely adverse conditions all contribute to making the Nijmegen March one of the most influential and overwhelming emotional experiences that can be found in any international endurance event. Wrap that around a profound intense historical background and the stage is set for one of the most memorial and character building events in Canadian Military history. Please take the time to comment on this page and let us know about your experiences and feelings with regards to the Nijmegen Marches. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy.
