February 2024 - Ottawa - Veterans Affairs Canada
Canadian Veterans have served our country bravely and made enormous sacrifices to safeguard the Canada we know today. Hearing directly from Veterans, their families and stakeholders who work to serve them each day will help shape services and support provided to them through Veterans Affairs Canada.
During March 5-8, Minister Petitpas Taylor will host two events in Montreal, the National Stakeholder Summit and the Women Veterans Forum.
The National Stakeholder Summit will take place on March 5 and 6. There will be representatives from Ministerial advisory groups and stakeholder groups in attendance. The topics will range from Veteran homelessness, transition to life after service, Veteran employment and commemorating modern Veterans.
Concluding on International Women's Day, the Women Veterans Forum will be held on March 7 and 8, and will focus on the unique lived experiences of women Veterans. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with community partners working in areas such as life after service, women's health, homelessness and recognition.
