Mission
Tell the story of contributions the Latin American did voluntarily when joining the Canadian Armed Forces during the First and Second World War as well other Wars and operations. The Committee recounts the experience in the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all Canadians with Latin American roots generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn.

- Latin-American individuals have played a significant role in defending Canada’s values and freedoms throughout history, yet their contributions often remain overlooked or underrepresented in mainstream narratives.
