Remembrance Day. Immigrant veterans gave everything even when a country did not give back. Their battle was not only on the battlefield but right at home.

In honour of both the National Indigenous Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, we remember Canada’s unsung heroes - immigrant veterans.

Who participated in both world wars? Were they fighting only to end global evils? Listen to Hostion and Andrea as they take a deep dive into the untold narratives and history of immigrant veterans in Canada. The rights we all have as immigrants in Canada is something to truly cherish and value. Immigrant veterans created the capacity for newcomers to be recognized as human, as worthy of the people they were. The people we are today. 

Remembering them is remembering why we have rights and freedoms as immigrant people.
