Why choose ESDC?
Every year, in the lead up to Remembrance Day, we mark Veterans’ Week. It presents an opportunity for Canadians to honour those who have served our country in times of war, military conflict and peace.
For more than a century, Canada’s diverse population of Veterans has served in many operations, both at home and abroad. Today’s Canadian Armed Forces members continue to reflect the courage and valour of those who served before them.
Each year, we encourage all employees to take a moment to think about the freedoms we all enjoy, thanks to the brave Canadians who have put our country before themselves.
At ESDC, we remind all employees of the importance to honour and remember Veterans. Here are some activities we propose:
