Thank you for that question, Mr. Lizon.
Absolutely. The Canada Remembers program and the Department of Veterans Affairs are very well aware of the importance of engaging Canadian youth in commemorative activities. Obviously our youth are the future, and we need to reach out to them. The department has been very successful in an educational program that provides educational materials on remembrance activities and remembrance programming. All that material is made available to schools all across Canada. That's one example of their outreach to youth.
Another good example of outreach to youth is the success the department has had with social media. We've learned that with the age cohort around this table, a lot of us would not be as familiar with things like Facebook, Twitter, and so on. That's where the young people are today. Veterans Affairs has been exceedingly successful with the Canada Remembers group in reaching out to youth through Facebook. Right now, Veterans Affairs has one of the largest corporate Facebook accounts in Canada in membership. A lot of those would be young people.
Those are two examples of how we reach out to and engage youth in commemoration and remembrance activities in Canada.
