For the 7 nights leading
up to November 11, 2010, the names of all Canadian soldiers were projected onto the
Belgian War Memorial in Ypres. At the same
time, the same names were being broadcast via the internet to schools across Belgium and
Canada. The image above shows the opening
ceremonies at the Belgian War Memorial on November 4, 2010.
Below is the name of

name appeared for 25 seconds and each night 9,700 names were shown.
