Chinese Canadian veterans
Chinese Canadian veterans are individuals of Chinese descent from Canada who served in the military, particularly during significant conflicts like World War I and World War II. Despite facing discrimination and exclusion from some military roles, many volunteered and fought bravely for Canada, contributing significantly to the war efforts. Their service challenged stereotypes and helped pave the way for greater recognition and rights for Chinese Canadians. After the wars, their sacrifices often went unrecognized, but in recent years, efforts have been made to honor their contributions and acknowledge their important role in Canadian history.
