On Saturday 27 June 2026 a ceremony was held in Halifax. The Canadian Army disbanded its 5th Division as twilight fell over the base parade ground. Senior officers, veterans and staff stood together. Colours were lowered. A plaque was revealed to mark the unit’s history. A last bugle call rang as the event closed.
Officials confirmed the change is part of a re‑organisation of Canada’s land forces. After years of service the 5th Division will be dissolved as a separate formation.
