This ceremony is organized by the Belgian Last Post Association, a non-profit organization based in Ypres. This is the same association which is taking care of the daily ceremonies at Menin Gate, with the Last Post being performed at 8 o clock sharp, by at least six bugle players. This traditional final salute to the fallen is performed by the bugle players (all are active or past serving members of the local fire brigade) in honour of the memory of the soldiers of the former British Empire and its allies, who died in the Ypres Salient during the First World War.

HMCS Haida, Canada’s most famous warship, saw distinguished service with the Royal Canadian Navy in World War II, the Korean conflict and the Cold War. Decommissioned in 1963, she was designated as a national historic site in 1984 because of her role in naval combat and because she is the last of the Tribal class destroyers once used by three navies. THE VISION In 2020, HMCS Haida is managed and pre- sented as a living, operating ship. Visitors enjoy the unique opportunity to explore, discover, experience, and learn about the inner workings of and life aboard a World War II–era naval vessel.
