The Government of Canada remains steadfast in the unwavering commitment to honour and support our country’s Veterans, including those who have served during times of war, armed conflict and peace.
The Honourable Jill McKnight, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, is pleased to re-appoint Colonel (Ret’d) Nishika Jardine to the role of Veterans Ombud.
The Government of Canada recognizes those who have contributed to the well-being of Veterans and their families, and keeps the memory of their contributions, sacrifices and achievements alive.
All Canadians share a responsibility to keep Veterans’ stories alive, recognize the cost of war and honour their sacrifices that led to the privileges and peace we know today.
In the fall of 1944 and through the spring of 1945, Canadian soldiers served in Western Europe helping to liberate the Netherlands from German occupiers.
