The theme of this year's event is Veteran Transition: Honouring the Past, Supporting the Journey.

There will be a special tribute to the brave Canadians who served in the Second World War, Korean War, Cold War, Afghanistan and elsewhere while celebrating the continued leadership and impact of today’s veterans – as mentors, advocates, and community champions.
