TORONTO, Nov. 8, 2022 /CNW/ - A display honouring Canadian Armed Forces members who made the ultimate sacrifice is open for viewing at Manulife's global headquarters in Toronto from now until November 11.

As a gesture of thanks and remembrance, and in continuing this Manulife tradition for the eighth consecutive year, more than 12,000 flags have been 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.

The flag garden will remain on display until sundown on November 11.

Manulife continues 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 continues to 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 flag display.
• Reporters who wish to have access to the grounds or speak to a spokesperson are requested to kindly contact our media representative, Alisha Prakash, on 365-292-0795, or by email on [email protected].
• Interview requests with Manulife spokespeople are available in-person at Manulife global headquarters or virtually.
