Bill C-252 — Loi instituant une journée nationale de commémoration pour honorer les membres des Forces armées canadiennes ayant perdu la vie en temps de paix au Canada

This proposed law wants to create a new national day of remembrance. It would be called Peacetime Service and Sacrifice Memorial Day. This day would be to remember Canadian soldiers who died in Canada when there was no war. This proposed law would affect all Canadians. It would give everyone a chance to honor soldiers who died in service but not in battle. It would also affect the families of those soldiers. They would have a special day to remember their loved ones. This proposed law matters because it recognizes the sacrifices of soldiers who died even when Canada was at peace. It shows that their service is valued, even if they didn't die in combat. It helps us remember all the ways soldiers serve our country.
