Today we remember those who gave everything for our freedom.
Their courage lives on in the values we hold dear and the communities we build together.
Lest we forget.

For over a century, First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples have served Canada with distinction in conflict.
Despite facing barriers to enlistment and unequal treatment upon their return, more than 12,000 Indigenous people have worn our country's uniform.
Their skills proved …invaluable. Their courage earned numerous decorations. Their sacrifice deserves our recognition.
We remember not only their service, but also the injustices they endured – from land expropriation to denied benefits. Today we commit to doing better.
