On Saturday 27 June 2026 a ceremony took place in Halifax. The Canadian Army went into suspension its 5th Division as daylight faded over the base parade ground. Senior officers, veterans and staff assembled together. Colours were dipped. A plaque was unveiled to mark the unit’s history. The final bugle sounded as the event closed.
Officials said the change is part of a re‑organisation of Canada’s land forces. After years of service the 5th Division will cease to exist as a separate formation.
