Canadian Armed Forces in Asia

Some of Canada’s most important and difficult military efforts occurred in Asia. Experiences in places like Hong Kong, Korea, Cambodia and Afghanistan changed the world, changed Canada and shaped the lives of all who served. Members of Canada’s armed forces demonstrated professionalism, resilience and kindness in challenging situations. It's important to recognize and appreciate their selfless service.

Join us in 2028 to recognize and remember the stories, achievements and sacrifices of Canadian service members in Asia.
