Canadian police officers serve as peacekeepers, too! More than 4,000 police officers have taken part in peace operations since 1989. They have been to a lot of places, serving in more than 30 countries around the world. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The Invictus Games

The Invictus Games started in 2014. It is a special competition for wounded or sick Veterans and military members. When these games took place in Toronto in 2017, a very cool mascot rallied up the crowd: Vimy the dog! The Invictus Games will be held in British Columbia in February 2025. Get ready to cheer on Team Canada!
