/CNW/ - A display honouring Canadian Armed Forces members who made
the ultimate sacrifice is open for viewing at Manulife's global

As a gesture of thanks and remembrance, and in continuing this
Manulife tradition for the eighth consecutive year, more than

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.
