2026 Veterans’ Week
November 5 – 11

Veterans’ Week is marked each year in the lead-up to Remembrance Day on November 11. It is a chance for all Canadians to recognize our Veterans and remember those who died to protect our freedom.

Celebrating a century of The Royal Canadian Legion

The Royal Canadian Legion plays a leading role in helping Canadians keep remembrance alive in our communities. Each year, its National Youth Remembrance Contests, delivered in partnership with The Legion National Foundation, encourage young Canadians to remember through art, writing and videos.

This year’s Veterans’ Week poster features artwork created by Chaelyn Han of Vancouver, British Columbia. Chaelyn used bright colours and stylized figures to show how the service and sacrifice of Canada’s Veterans supports the safe and free Canada we enjoy today.
