Over the years 2014 – 2018, the project will display the million of names of the soldiers killed in WWI in names-display installations in Canada and other participating countries. The names will be displayed in schools, on personal communication devices such as Smartphones and Tablets, in a major national display in Confederation Square in Ottawa and in other Canadian cities. All names will be respectfully and meaningfully presented in Canada and in other nations regardless of the armies in which they fought. All WWI nations have been invited to participate. Each of the names will be programmed to appear at a precise minute allowing students and families to find the exact moment when the name of a lost relative will appear.

Canadian Donor designated donations are tax deductible and eligible to receive a tax receipt from The District 5550 World Community Service Foundation. We will in turn advance the funds to support the designated project.
