Branch Event – Atlantic

Battle of the Atlantic Ceremony

May 4, 2025

DATE: SUNDAY, 04 May 2025

TIME: 1025 hrs

LOCATION: Halifax Memorial, Point Pleasant Park

Battle of the Atlantic Memorial – May 4, 2025

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest and one of the most critical naval campaigns of the Second World War, spanning from 1939 to 1945. This campaign was a strategic struggle for control of the North Atlantic, where Allied forces relied heavily on maritime supply routes to transport essential personnel and materials from North America to Europe. German U-boats relentlessly targeted Allied merchant convoys in an effort to disrupt these lifelines, while the Allies responded with coordinated convoy defenses, submarine-hunting tactics, and the development of advanced anti-submarine technologies.

To honour those who served and sacrificed, the annual Battle of the Atlantic Memorial will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at the Halifax Memorial in Point Pleasant Park.

  • Serving and retired members of the armed forces are asked to attend in No. 1 dress with medals.

  • All other attendees are kindly requested to wear business attire.

Please RSVP by April 30, 2025 to 902-427-2342 or marlantsovp@forces.gc.ca.

We hope you will join us in paying tribute to the brave individuals who played a vital role in this defining campaign.
