About Dutch Heritage Day

The federal government has adopted a motion from Chatham-Kent-Leamington MP Dave Van Kesteren to recognize Canada’s special relationship with the Netherlands annually on that date, starting in 2019. The date was chosen to honour the sacrifices made by Canadian veterans who gave their lives fighting for the Liberation of Holland, which took place on May 5th 1945.
