On November 10, we gather at The Field of Crosses to honour Canadian Peacekeepers.
This morning’s Sunrise Ceremony at 7:44 a.m. is dedicated to recognizing the men and women who have served in peacekeeping missions around the world since 1954. Their commitment to protecting vulnerable communities and supporting global stability has earned an important place in Canada’s military history.
Canadian Peacekeepers have carried out demanding and often dangerous duties, including ceasefire monitoring, buffer zone patrols, conflict mediation, humanitarian assistance, investigations, and providing support in regions affected by violence or instability. Their work has come with heavy sacrifice, and their courage continues to reflect Canada’s long-standing role as a leader in international peace efforts.
Today, we honour their service, their dedication to peace, and the legacy they share with generations of Canadians who served before them.
Stay tuned for more information on this evening's Night of Lights Ceremony!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this evening’s ceremony as we came together to honour the Jewish fallen commemorated within the Field of Crosses. Your presence and reflection helped bring meaning to a powerful night of remembrance.
As we wish you a good night, we offer a gentle reminder that tomorrow’s Sunrise Ceremony for UN Peacekeepers Day begins at 7:44 a.m., followed by our Night of Lights Ceremony at 4:54 p.m. We welcome all who are able to join us.
For now, let us look back at special moments captured during the Indigenous Veterans Day Sunrise Ceremony on November 8. These images continue to remind us of the strength, sacrifice, and spirit of those who served.
