An informal observance was held at the battlefield by the friends of the Crysler's Farm Battlefield. This wa the site of a crucial and key victory in November 11, 1813, which saved Canada from American conquest.
First Nations warriors helped save the day as well.
The farm belonged to John Crysler where Lt.Col Joseph Morrison with 8u00 British and Canadian regulars, militia and First Nations men engaged some 4,000 Americans and won, stopping a thrust at Montreal.
This, along with another victory over the Americans in late October at Chateauguay, saved Canada from conquest in 1813.
