Canadian Armed Forces in the Middle East

Whether at sea, in the air or on the ground, thousands of Canadian service members have played a significant role in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. At every step, they reflected Canada’s commitment to positive change and a better world. From peacekeeping and peace enforcement, to protecting Canadians and providing humanitarian support—when the pressure was on, Canada’s military stood tall. They have left a lasting impact on the Middle East region. Let’s honour their dedication, sacrifice and courageous commitment to supporting peace and stability around the world.

Join us in 2026 to recognize and remember the stories, achievements and sacrifices of Canadian service members in the Middle East.
