November 8th marks National Indigenous Veterans Day in Canada, honoring the contributions of Indigenous peoples to the military.

National Indigenous Veterans Day is a moment for reflection and gratitude, raising awareness about the unique challenges Indigenous veterans have faced. It acknowledges their significant contributions and the injustices they endured during and after their military service. Additionally, Indigenous veterans often face significant health and wellbeing impacts, including physical injuries, PTSD, and trauma. These challenges are compounded by a lack of culturally appropriate support services. This day highlights the importance of providing comprehensive support to improve their quality of life.

Le 8 novembre marque la Journée des anciens combattants autochtones au Canada célébrant la contribution des peuples autochtones dans les Forces armées canadiennes.

La Journée nationale des anciens combattants autochtones est un moment de réflexion et de gratitude qui sert à sensibiliser le public quant aux défis uniques auxquels ont fait face les anciens combattants autochtones. Cette journée reconnait leurs contributions importantes et les injustices qu’ils ont endurées durant et après leur service militaire. De plus, les anciens combattants autochtones subissent des répercussions considérables quant à leur santé physique et à leur bien-être, y compris des blessures physiques, le PTST et des traumatismes. Ces défis sont accentués par un manque de services de soutien culturellement adaptés. Cette journée souligne l’importance de fournir un soutien exhaustif afin d’améliorer leur qualité de vie.

Did you know the HMCS Winnipeg is a Halifax-class frigate that has served in the Royal Canadian Navy since 1996?

Last year on October 30, the HMCS Winnipeg crew made a special trip to Winnipeg to visit the veterans, residents and staff at Deer Lodge Health Centre. The crew toured the facility and connected with veterans, sharing stories and gratitude for their sacrifices.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the courage and dedication of our veterans. Their contributions continue to shape the Canada we know today.
