Canada’s Commemorative Map

Canada’s Commemorative Map This interactive map commemorates Canada’s participation in armed conflicts at home and abroad by highlighting a sample of the many geographical features and places named for those that served our country. These commemorative geographical names help us remember war casualties, soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen, military leaders, and civilians recognized or decorated for outstanding acts of bravery and sacrifice in battle. These names also commemorate notable battles in which Canada participated, and Canadian military units, regiments, squadrons, and ships in which Canadians served. Federal, provincial and territorial members of the Geographical Names Board of Canada provided these commemorative names for the development of the map. Many more commemorative place names exist in Canada, and will be added in future releases of this evergreen interactive map. If you would like to contribute names to this project, please contact the Geographical Names Board of Canada Secretariat at Natural Resources Canada. 2024-02-15 Natural Resources Canada nrcan.geonames-toponymes.rncan@canada.ca MilitaryCanadaGNBCwar casualtiesWarCommemoration Canada’s Commemorative Map (Story Map)HTML https://maps.canada.ca/stories/storymap-en.html?lang=en&appid=773e1e5ca47e4658af07e5ab3d9b15b8&appidalt=f67a2da7ca7449a3b63cd26cfa275275 Canada’s Commemorative Map (Story Map)HTML https://cartes.canada.ca/stories/storymap-fr.html?lang=fr&appid=f67a2da7ca7449a3b63cd26cfa275275&appidalt=773e1e5ca47e4658af07e5ab3d9b15b8 Canada’s Commemorative MapFGDB/GDB https://ftp.cartes.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Commemoration_Commemoration/canada_commemorative_map/CCW_CCG.gdb.zip Canada’s Commemorative MapMXD https://ftp.cartes.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Commemoration_Commemoration/canada_commemorative_map/CCM_CCC_EN.mxd Canada’s Commemorative MapMXD https://ftp.cartes.canada.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/Commemoration_Commemoration/canada_commemorative_map/CCM_CCC_FR.mxd Canada’s Commemorative MapESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/CCM_CCC_EN/MapServer/ Canada’s Commemorative MapESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/rest/services/NRCan/CCM_CCC_FR/MapServer/ Canada's Commemorative MapWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/CCM_CCC_EN/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0&layers=0&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=text%2Fhtml Canada’s Commemorative MapWMS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server_serveur/services/NRCan/CCM_CCC_FR/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.3.0&layers=0&legend_format=image%2Fpng&feature_info_type=text%2Fhtml
