National Indigenous Veterans’ Day

On Wednesday, November 8th, we come together to mark National Indigenous Veterans’ Day, honouring the important contributions of Indigenous Peoples in service to Canada.

Indigenous Peoples have proudly served Canada in operations at home and overseas for more than 200 years.Today, Indigenous members continue to serve in Canada’s military forces. We are grateful for their sacrifices and contributions to Canada’s history and to Canada’s security.

As we reflect, we remember those who lost their lives and those whose lives were forever changed. We hold their loved ones, families and communities in our hearts.
Lest we forget.
