Military Service Recognition Book

19 Commissioner, RCMP Message for the 2025 “In Service of Canada” Publication For a century and a half, the RCMP has proudly served Canada at home and abroad, contributing to peace, security, and freedom. From our role in the Second World War with No. 1 Provost Corps to our participation in North West Canada (1885), South Africa (1900–1902), and the war in Afghanistan (2003-2014)— to name a few operational honours inscribed on our Guidon— RCMP members have stood alongside our Canadian Armed Forces members and other allies to uphold our shared values. These campaigns re昀ect our enduring commitment to service in times of con昀ict and global e昀orts to protect and revitalize democracy in support of the implementation of sustainable development goals so that no one is left behind. Since 1989, our members have also contributed to this legacy through contributions to peacekeeping and international policing missions, helping build safer communities around the world. We honour the service of all RCMP employees and the families who support them— especially those who have endured the loss of loved ones. We are deeply grateful to The Royal Canadian Legion for its continued support of current and former RCMP members and their families. Your advocacy not only preserves their legacy but also plays a vital role in supporting their wellness and resilience, and fostering a sense of community. The service and sacri昀ce of all Canadians who have contributed to making the world a better place through initiatives aimed at reducing human su昀ering, and building a more peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable future for all shall never be forgotten.
