Commemorative Events in Canada

We intend to hold multiple small events across Canada in 2026 leading up to major activities and events in 2027. In order to accomplish this, we need your help. Specifically, we are looking for volunteers to help organize events in your local community or region. As word spreads, interest in the Balkans should increase and hopefully more and more Balkans veterans will become aware of our plans. Canada has never acknowledged our contributions in the Balkans, and it is a forgotten conflict. We want to change this. Between 1991 and 2004, 40,000 Canadians served in the Balkans on various peace support in the aftermath of the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia; 23 died.
