A little late but best wishes on Peacekeeper’s Day! It is celebrated on August 9 in Canada and May 27 internationally. I worked in Haiti with the UN in 2009 and in Ukraine in 2020, so this day is important to me. This is especially true with the recent earthquake in Haiti and the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Over the past seven decades, more than 125,000 Canadian peacekeepers have participated in dozens of international efforts all around the world to restore and maintain peace. They have been instrumental in achieving these goals. (This photo was taken in Ottawa in 2015).
