Abstract

The Second World War has often been regarded as a critical moment in the formation of Canadian national identity. Programs that helped veterans readjust to civilian life were very important. The Veterans' Land Act (VLA) of 1942 was part of Canada's veteran rehabilitation program, and helped to establish veterans as farmers, fishermen, and part-time farmers on small holdings. Of the 1.2 million veterans of World War II, over ten percent participated in the VLA program. In spite of this, little has been written about veterans programs in general, or about the Land Act in particular.
