Share Your Personal Peacekeeping Experiences

10 January, 2023

RAUSI encourages members to participate in the PK75: A Peacekeeping Anthology project, in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the first United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operation (UNTSO), and the 35th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize for UN Peacekeepers. 

This is an excellent opportunity to share Canada’s historic contributions to peacekeeping through the eyes of individual Canadian peacekeepers like yourself. Brigadier-General Gregory B Mitchell, CD (Retired) is leading the project, and requests submissions no later than 28 February 2023 (the sooner the better).

Please read and share BGen Mitchell's message below, as well as a PDF with further details.

On behalf of the Canadian Peacekeeping Veterans Association (CPVA), I would ask that you take a few minutes to read this message and the attached note about our project, which we have entitled PK75: A Peacekeeping Anthology.

We hope you will consider participating in this worthy endeavour by writing your own, personal story to be included in the Anthology. If you think you might be interested, the attachment to this message explains the project, and contains the specific details you will need to develop your own contribution. Our website (CPVA.ca) also provides several examples from other Peacekeeping Veterans. If you still have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Finally, if you are in contact with others who might be interested in contributing their stories, please feel free to send me their contact information, or you can forward this message directly to them, along with the attachment. We welcome all contributors, but are especially interested in recruiting more civilians, police, and military NCMs, as we want to represent a broad, representative spectrum of Peacekeeping Veterans from across Canada.

Thank you again, and best regards,

Brigadier-General Gregory B. Mitchell, CD (Retired)
