The names of 167 Canadians who were killed during the 13-year mission in Afghanistan could be heard by those who gathered in Victoria to commemorate them on March 12.
The event at the B.C. Afghanistan Memorial was packed full of people who came to remember the 10th anniversary of the end of Canada’s long mission, including several families who were granted the Sliver Memorial Cross in recognition of their lost relative.
