The Ghanaian Ex-soldiers were among thousands of Canada’s Veterans who marched in the 89th annual Warrior’s Day Parade at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) on Saturday, August 21st 2010. The Ex-Soldiers who have since 1994 participated in the Parade have won the 2nd place in the marching formation in 2005, 2006 and 2008.
