On November 8, we recognize National Indigenous Veterans Day, honouring the crucial and, yet, not-often-enough acknowledged Indigenous contributions to military service. Many Indigenous Veterans faced unique challenges in enlisting and serving, and did not receive equal treatment compared to other Canadian Veterans.

On November 11, the Village Office will be closed for a day of reflection on the impact of war, the importance of peace, and the high cost of the freedom we enjoy. We reflect on the courage of current and
former service members, show support for them and their families, and remember the many military members who gave their lives.
