Wall of Service

“Thank you for your sacrifice. We live in the best country in the world because you fought to keep it this way.” Denis Pilon

Remember Their Sacrifice and Contribution

Nearly 400,000 military personnel departed from Pier 21 during the Second World War to serve their country.

At Pier 21, on the very spot where they boarded ships bound for Europe stands the Wall of Service. It provides a way for families to commemorate service men and women, including those who served in the merchant navy. It also recognizes the War Brides who came to Canada during and after the war. 44,000 War Brides and their 22,000 children disembarked at Pier 21.
