Canada Day 2011 will mark the end of Canadian combat operations in Afghanistan. Troop withdrawals will commence from that date until the end of the year, by which time all combat troops will return home.
It's still uncertain what other roles the Canadian armed forces will play. It's entirely possible that there will still be support roles.
