Please join us for this year's Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society's Annual Remembrance Day

Again this year, the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society - with assistance from the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei, is holding the annual Remembrance Day event on Sunday November 12th in the POW Memorial Park in Jinguashi – the site of the former Kinkaseki POW Camp.

The service will commence at 11:00 am and following the service those in attendance are invited to gather together for a picnic lunch in the local community center.

Chartered buses will depart from the east side of the Grand Hyatt Hotel - # 2 SongShou Road - at 9:15 am sharp, the cost for the bus is NT$500.00 and reservations are required. The buses will leave Jinguashi for the return trip to Taipei around 2 pm.

We require that everyone wishing to attend the event register with the Taiwan POW Camps Memorial Society directly by email only at: society@powtaiwan.org, including those arriving on alternate transportation. When registering, please indicate whether or not you will be staying for lunch.

The firm deadline for reservations is 5 pm Wednesday November 8th . Registrants must provide their full name and telephone number. Please book early to ensure that you will have a seat on the bus.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this year’s special event and we hope that many will come out to remember and honour those to whom we owe a debt that can never be repaid.
