Canadian International Military Tattoo
Canadian International Military Tattoo
The first tattoo took place in 1992 and marked Canada's 125th birthday. In 1999, the Hamilton International Tattoo—as it was then called—faced the threat of being discontinued, but a group of volunteers rallied to preserve it. Around that time the Canadian International Tattoo Association was formed with the sole mission of coordinating the event and ensuring its continuation.
In 2008, the Tattoo celebrated the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City and declared as its theme Je me souviens (a popular Quebec slogan that means "I remember").
