Toronto – A display honouring Canadian Armed Forces members who made the ultimate sacrifice will be open for viewing at Manulife's global headquarters in Toronto from November 2 to November 11, 2022.

As a gesture of thanks and remembrance, and in continuing this Manulife tradition for the eighth consecutive year, more than 12,000 flags will be planted on the front lawn of Manulife headquarters at 200 Bloor Street East, where each flag represents 10 members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have fallen in service.

Manulife will continue to support the Royal Canadian Legion by encouraging colleagues to purchase a traditional Poppy from members of the Legion in their communities, or a digital Poppy which can be shared with family and friends through social media. The hashtag #ManulifeRemembers will be used on Manulife social media channels to further support and encourage this initiative.

Media are welcome to capture images and/or video of the ceremony on November 2 and flag display between November 2 and November 11.
Reporters who wish to have access to the grounds or speak to a spokesperson are requested to kindly contact our media representative, Alisha Prakash, at 365-292-0795, or by email at alisha_prakash@manulife.ca.
