The Act of Remembrance is one of the most important ways to honour and thank Veterans for their sacrifices. The Royal Canadian Legion is committed to ensuring Canadians never forget. We remember Canadian Veterans from all conflicts, as well as those who have made sacrifices on the home front. Our mission is to ensure Canada never forgets the sacrifices of our Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, Peace Officers, Merchant Navy, and Reserves. We also remember our military families—the parents and children of Canadian Veterans.
Promoting Remembrance is part of The Royal Canadian Legion’s mission and has been one of our principal objectives since our inception. The Legion inspires Canadians to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and to honour those who served and continue to serve today. Remembrance is a year-long commitment, and we endeavour to promote it through programs, services, and resources.
We Will Remember
Remembrance is one of the ways we make a difference in a Veteran’s life. There are other ways too.
- Observe Remembrance Day and participate in a local ceremony
- Wear the Poppy
- Learn more about ways to remember
- Learn more about the history of service. Canadian Veterans have served throughout history in a broad range of conflicts and situations – from world wars to peacekeeping missions to crises on the home front.
- Find a local Cenotaph or Memorial.
- Visit a war museum
- Join the Legion
- Make a donation
- Say “Thank You” to a Veteran
We encourage you to remember our Veterans and thank them for their service. Throughout the year, take a moment to write a thank-you note, share a story, or express your gratitude for their service.
