The peacekeeping operation in Cyprus is one of Canada's longest overseas military commitments, but conflict on the island remains unresolved. In this Memory Project video, three Canadian Peacekeepers share their stories of service across three decades on the island. 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the UN peacekeeping mission in Cyprus. Canadian Peacekeepers were the first to arrive on the ground in 1964, and Canada has maintained involvement in the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) ever since. While tensions on the island have stabilized, the conflict in Cyprus remains unresolved to this day. Supported by the perspectives of three Canadian veterans who served in Cyprus over the course of three decades, this video provides an overview of Cyprus's contested sovereignty since the Second World War and focuses on Canadian involvement in the United Nations mission there.  Credits: Illustrations by Jessie Durham Featuring: Sergeant (Ret'd) Robert Thomas Major (Ret'd) Paul Hale Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret'd) Ronald Bragdon
