The Canadian Peacekeepers in Winnipeg

We are the LGen RR Crabbe Chapter of the CAVUNP in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Our Chapter is proud to present its line of exciting new products now available to the public.

Peacekeeping operations are meant to be temporary measures. They are not expected to resolve a conflict.

Canada has been involved with the UN as Peacekeepers since the first mission which began in 1947 with the United Nations Temporary Commission on Korea. The purpose was to supervise the withdrawal of occupation forces. Canada contributed two officers as military observers.

The first Peacekeeping Force was created in 1956 in response to the Suez Crisis. Lester Pearson, who later became our Prime Minister, proposed a solution - a UN emergency force to separate the fighters and to supervise a cease fire.

Canada is proud of its role with the United Nations Peacekeeping.
