#TealUp Day for Military Kids (April 29, 2024)

April 29^th is recognized as “Teal Up Day” to bring awareness to Month of the Military Child and give Canadian Military Children a day of celebration. 

Why Teal?  The colour teal was chosen because it includes all branches of the Canadian Military (Blue for Air Force, Green for Army and Blue/White for Navy). 

Unlike most children, military families are on the move, with children having to leave schools, activities and friends behind.  Loved ones can be absent long periods of time for deployments, training and exercise.  Despite all challenges, military children continue to flourish and succeed.  This resilience deserves a moment of recognition to honour all children of the military community.
