Indigenous, Black, South Asian, Japanese Canadians and others have made significant contributions to war efforts dating back as far as the war of 1812. Who are these Canadians, often left out of the Remembrance Day narrative, who showed commitment to their country on and off the battlefield? Journey with us as we introduce you to unsung soldiers who fought and their struggle to get the privilege, servicemen who worked in the trenches and women who provided essential services on the home front.
This is a great presentation for Remembrance Day assemblies and classes exploring Canada’s war efforts through the years. Lest We Forget—it takes an entire nation to stand on guard.
