Honouring Sacrifice. Celebrating Legacy. Our Mission.

Across the country and around family tables, the echoes of service and sacrifice resonate through generations. These cherished stories honour the brave souls who answered the call and joined the Canadian Armed Forces, etching their legacies into our national history. Families and communities play an essential role in preserving these narratives, passing down tales of bravery and dedication from one generation to the next.

About Wreaths Across Canada

On the first Sunday of December, Wreaths Across Canada hosts a poignant wreath-laying ceremony at the National Military Cemetery in Beechwood Cemetery, Ottawa. This event is a heartfelt invitation to the public to honour fallen heroes by laying a wreath. These wreaths, generously donated by Canadians, stand as a powerful symbol of our collective gratitude and remembrance.

We warmly invite families and community members to participate, sharing their stories and memories as they lay wreaths for their loved ones. This meaningful act of remembrance is a profound moment of connection, uniting us all in a shared commitment to honouring those who served. By coming together, we contribute to the enduring legacy of the Canadian Armed Forces. Join us in celebrating and preserving their bravery and dedication for future generations, fostering a deep sense of national unity and gratitude.

Our mission is to extend this heartfelt tribute to every military grave across Canada, ensuring that each December, a wreath graces their resting place in recognition of their unwavering service.
