The BC Métis Federation (BCMF) honours all Indigenous veterans and active service members who have courageously served Canada in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping.
Indigenous Veterans Day is a time to remember and recognize the thousands of Métis, First Nations, and Inuit people who answered the call to serve—often overcoming barriers, discrimination, and a lack of recognition upon returning home. Today, we pause to honour their strength, resilience, and enduring contributions to our shared history.
As part of this reflection, BCMF invites all members to take a moment to offer the following Prayer for Veterans:

Prayer for Veterans
Thank you for your service and your sacrifices. You are our true heroes and will never be forgotten. May the bravery and courage shown by all veterans inspire us to strive for a better world. We honour and remember your sacrifice. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort your tomorrow. Amen Hiy Hiy.

On this Indigenous Veterans Day, BCMF extends its deepest gratitude to all veterans and their families. Their service continues to inspire the pursuit of fairness, unity, and reconciliation across the province and the nation.
