We asked
Between May and July of 2021, VAC invited all Canadians including Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members, Royal Canadian Mounted police (RCMP), other persons involved in international peace support operations, their families, Veterans organizations, and the general public to share their thoughts on the future of remembrance in Canada.
Consultation feedback was gathered through surveys (Let’s Talk Veterans and direct surveys to stakeholder organizations), roundtable meetings, direct emails and VAC’s Facebook channels.
The questions generally focused on representing diversity in commemorative programs; meaningful ways to recognize Veterans; the commemoration of security, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations; and feedback on a CAF around the world approach.
