National Veterans' Week Speakers Program

Each year during Veterans’ Week, from November 5 to 11, Canadians remember and honour the brave individuals who served our country in the past, and we recognize those who serve in uniform today.

The National Veterans’ Week Speakers Program provides an opportunity for Canadians to connect with active members of the military, to better understand how members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) continue to contribute to their local communities and on the international stage.
