Connecting Veterans: Peacekeeping,

Camaraderie, and Community with CPVA

In Canada, peacekeeping is a
significant part of our society and culture. The Canadian
Armed Forces have sent troops on peace support missions
since 1948. Today, UN peacekeeping, peace support, and
humanitarian missions, are important for resolving
international conflicts.
In 2001, the Miramichi Chapter of the Canadian
Peacekeepers Veterans Association (CPVA) was established.
CPVA is now actively looking to connect with all veterans to
help boost their ranks. If you are a veteran and are residing
in the area why not check us out? The Miramichi CPVA
organizes monthly social events, commemorative services,
and parades, and provides honour guards at veterans' funerals
among other veteran-related activities. We want you!
If you want to connect with your military comrades,
you can renew that dream now. Whether you are retired or Become a Member - Yearly membership $20.00
