Today we celebrate the 22nd annual Canadian Armed Forces Day!

We honour all the men and women serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, both here at home and abroad.

Thank you for your service!

The Legion remains deeply concerned by the reported condition and availability of equipment faced by our military. We ask the federal government to immediately dedicate adequate resources and create an agile procurement process.

Women have played an important role in Canada’s military efforts, overcoming many barriers to serve in uniform.

Thank you to all our women Veterans who continue to inspire while making our world a safer, more equitable place.

The Legion strongly condemns those who jumped on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and disrespected the National War Memorial on Saturday.

The site commemorates those who fought and fell for the very freedoms that allow the right to protest peacefully and respectfully.
