Veterans Affairs Canada introduces expanded focus for commemoration

Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence Lawrence MacAulay has introduced a broadened approach to recognize all those who have served.

Veterans Affairs Canada is developing a 10-year strategic plan for commemoration in consultation with the Commemoration advisory group and other key stakeholders. This plan will serve as a reference point for commemorative activities going forward.

Through 2021, Veterans Affairs Canada will consult with Veterans, current CAF members, Veterans’ organizations, educators, other partners, and Canadians across the country. Their input will help ensure remembrance programming evolves and remains relevant to Veterans and Canadians in the years to come.
