Preserving the Path: Honouring Indigenous Veterans
Indigenous Veterans Day, observed annually on November 8, is an opportunity to recognize and honour the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans who have served Canada with courage and distinction. Many Indigenous Peoples answered the call to serve despite facing significant barriers and inequities, making invaluable contributions in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping. Their stories of service, sacrifice, and resilience are an important part of Canada’s history and continue to inspire reflection, respect, and reconciliation.
