Tell your Peacekeeping story!
Westmount, Quebec – 15 February 2023: The year 2023 marks two peacekeeping milestones – the 75th anniversary of the first United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operation (UNTSO), and the 35th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize for UN Peacekeepers. Both anniversaries offer an ideal opportunity to recognize and celebrate Canada’s amazing contributions to world peace, and especially the personal contributions of the thousands of Canadians who participated in peacekeeping operations around the globe, with the UN, MFO, AU, OSCE, or other peacekeeping missions.
The Canadian Peacekeeping Veterans Association (CPVA) is developing PK75: A Peacekeeping Anthology, a collection of the personal experiences of representative Canadian peacekeepers. It will focus on Canada’s historic contributions to peacekeeping through the eyes of
individual Canadian peacekeepers. The Anthology will be a high quality, bilingual, digital publication containing short biographies, photographs and experiential anecdotes written by, or about, ordinary Canadians with peacekeeping experience, whether they be military, police, or civilian.
The deadline for submissions was 28 February 2023 however it is likely they would interested in having more participation. If you wish to participate, please click here.
