3 Elio Di Rupo, State Minister and Mayor of the city of Mons In November of 2018, The City of Mons will become the historical focal point for Commemorative Ceremonies for the end of World War I. It is in Mons, that British and German armies first met in armed conflict on the 23 rd of August 1914, thus commencing the First World War. It was not until four years later, in November 2018, that Canadian troops liberated our city bringing WWI to an end. Consequently Mons has become a historic and symbolic place for Great War Centennial Ceremonies. On November 11, 2018, Mons will host a festival of events to celebrate the end of World War I. Mons would especially like to thank Canada by colouring the city in the colours of the nation that liberated us. The City of Mons would like to acknowledge and commemorate the sacrifices that this young nation made to bring about the end of the Great War. Armistice Day, the 11 th of November 1918, marks the end of the greatest conflict of the twentieth century. H.E. Denis Robert, Ambassador of Canada It was at Mons, on 11 November 1918, that the First World War ended for Canadian soldiers, after 4 years of fighting and immense sacrifices that changed Canada forever. More than 14,000 Canadian soldiers died in Belgium between 1915 and The last of those soldiers to die was George Price, killed 2 minutes before Armistice at Ville-sur-Haine, a few kilometers from Mons. In the course of the last week of the First World War, the Canadian army liberated the entire region of Mons, from Quiévrain to Casteau. This Pursuit to Mons was part of the Hundred Days of Canada, a series of offensives in 1918 on the Western Front during which the Canadian corps spearheaded the armies of the British Empire. The First World War was an important landmark in Canada s evolution towards nationhood. In 1914, Canada entered the war as a self-governing dominion. Canada s accomplishments on the battlefields of Ypres, Vimy, Passchendaele and Mons have contributed - both at home and abroad to respect for and recognition of Canada for its commitment and leadership. This new reputation earned Canada the right to affix its own signature on the Treaty of Versailles and to become a founding member of the League of Nations. National status had been achieved. As Ambassador of Canada, I am deeply moved by the intention of the City of Mons and of its Mayor, Mr Elio Di Rupo, to honour Canada in Mons in November 2018 and I welcome those initiatives that will contribute to the lustre of this major commemoration.

The belfry stands 87 meters high and is the only baroque belfry in Belgium. These sites are recognized as World Heritage sites by UNESCO. In addition to these sites, UNESCO also recognizes leading environmental accomplishments such as the mining at Neolithic Spiennes (SILEX S). Mon s third masterpiece of world heritage is the festival of the Doudou. This historical event dates back to the fourteenth century. The event is derived from popular religious traditions.

The commemorations of the liberation of Mons and the centenary of the Armistice enroll directly in this biennial, because the citizens of Mons wish to thank those who a century ago, fought risking their lives to defend our freedoms and our rights. The wish of the city of Mons is to organize jointly with Canada and its people these commemorative festivities. Symbolically, Mons represents for the Commonwealth troops the beginning and end of the Great War. For Canada, the The Pursuit to Mons is the symbol of emancipation and of Canadian identity. We bet that these commemorations can be, for both of our nations, a special time of fellowship and communion of the people having the freedom enshrined in their veins. Two events are significant: first the ceremony of 4 August at the military cemetery of St. Symphorien organized by the British Government. It was broadcast live on BBC and gathered the royal families of Britain and Belgium, as well as various representatives of the soldiers buried in the cemetery. On the other hand, the ceremony of 23 August organized by the City of Mons.
