Nova Scotia has passed legislation that permits military members to wear their uniforms in public spaces, including schools, following controversy in 2024 where an elementary school asked members and veterans not to wear uniforms to a school Remembrance Day service.
The Honouring Canadian Armed Forces Members Act, introduced on Oct. 2 and passed later that day, says that current and retired military members are permitted to wear their uniforms in all places that are owned by the provincial government, such as parks, hospitals, and schools, according to an Oct. 2 government press release.
