Indigenous Peoples throughout Canada have a strong tradition of military service. It’s estimated over 12,000 Inuit, Métis and First Nations members served in the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War.
Many more have bravely served our country since, in all branches of the military.

Are you a survivor of a Veteran who entered into a marriage/common-law relationship with a Veteran aged 60 and above? The University of British Columbia is currently looking for participants to join their Veteran Survivor Study. The study will inform future support strategies for survivors of Veterans.

Seventy years ago today, the Korean War began. We honour and remember those Canadians who served in the multinational force to help defend peace and freedom in the Republic of Korea. #CanadaRemembers

Update on Wait Times

To help reduce wait times for Veterans, we are improving the adjudication process for the most common conditions. For example, we’re reducing the evidence needed to adjudicate hearing loss and tinnitus applications. Following modern and best practices, we are looking at how to automate the hearing loss application process—using new digital tools to find, review and read electronic audiograms.
