Tulips from Margriet It was during World War II that Canada and Holland developed warm and powerful bonds of friendship. 7,600 Canadian soldiers died fighting to liberate the Netherlands. Canada offered shelter to Crown Princess Juliana and her children, and during that time, Princess Margriet, Juliana’s third daughter, was born. Once back to Holland, the royal family sent 120,000 tulip bulbs to Canada as a gesture of gratitude. Today, the Dutch people are still deeply grateful to the Canadian soldiers and to the ultimate sacrifice so many of them made. On every May 5 -- the anniversary of the Liberation in Holland -- the Canadian veterans marching by are thanked profusely. “Tulips from Margriet” retraces the stories of the people who forged the friendship between Canada and The Netherlands, and of those people who are keeping it alive today.
