Indigenous Veteran's Day

Today we honour the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have served, and continue to serve, in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Indigenous peoples have a proud tradition of military service from the World Wars to peacekeeping missions often serving with courage despite facing discrimination at home.

Our flags have been lowered to half-mast to mark Indigenous Veterans Day.
