It’s time!
We’ve experienced unprecedented times over the last few years, and with the current upheaval in our world, we need to come together as a community now more than ever – to gather, honour, connect, celebrate, and share space and energy.
Over the course of Veterans’ Week (November 6th to 11th), we will nurture that sense of peace and community!
This year also marks 75 years of United Nations Peacekeeping Missions, and we are excited to invite you to join us as we commemorate this special milestone.
Check out our activities at the KMFRC!
We’d love for you to join in some or all these activities.

The Gathering: 2:30pm-4:00pm
Please join us in celebrating 75 years of United Nations Peacekeeping missions. We will open our gathering by acknowledging the roots of our country, then hear wise words from a Peacekeeper, take a moment of reflection and honour, and most importantly connect while sharing time, great conversation and yummy treats.
