Military Appreciation

During the 2026 season, the Toronto Blue Jays proudly recognized 14 members of the Canadian Armed Forces at Saturday home games through the Saturday Salute program. Each honouree, along with their family and friends, was invited to Rogers Centre to enjoy a memorable game-day experience, including access to batting practice, opportunities to meet Blue Jays players and coaches, and premium seating for the game. During a special in-game ceremony in the third inning, fans joined us in celebrating each honouree's service and dedication to our country. We are proud to recognize and thank the brave members of the Canadian Armed Forces for their commitment, sacrifice, and service to Canadians every day.

Canada Day at Rogers Centre is a proud celebration of our country and those who serve it. More than 200 members of the Canadian Armed Forces participate in a special pregame ceremony, presenting a giant Canadian flag that spans the entire outfield for the national anthem. Alongside them, Blue Jays players, coaches, and support staff stand proudly on the field in their red Canada Day jerseys as fans come together to celebrate our nation's birthday.

Each year, the Toronto Blue Jays also partner with Sunnybrook Veterans Centre, Canada's largest veterans' care facility, to host veterans and their families at the ballpark for a special Canada Day game experience. Through this annual tradition, we are proud to recognize and thank those who have served our country while celebrating Canada Day.
