Remembrance Day

Throughout our country's history, Canada has shown their strength as a military leader, participating in many global disputes, but most notably World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War 2 (1939-1945). Although not directly impacted on the home front, "Canada was eagerly ready to support the United Kingdom against Germany and its allies". Some of Canada's greatest contributions in World War 1 were at Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, and the Somme. 

Today, many roles the Canadian Armed Forces take are as peacekeepers. Veterans Affairs Canada say that Canada is a leader in peacekeeping around the world. 

Here are two videos that share some of the wars and battles that Canada has been involved in.
