On Canada Day we correct past mistakes...

...by being more vigilant:

Canada's war memorial will be under heightened security during this year's Canada Day celebrations.

New security measures include more surveillance cameras and tourism guides who will educate visitors about the meaning of the sacred monument, located across from Parliament Hill.

"A lot of inappropriate acts occur because visitors don't appreciate the significance of the site. When they do, they are more likely to act with greater respect," said Janice Summerby, a spokesperson for Veterans Affairs.
