@dnc34Did you actually read the wikipedia article?"Between 28 January 1973 and 31 July 1973, Canada provided 240 peacekeeping troops to Operation Gallant, the peace keeping operation associated with the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS) Vietnam, along with Hungary, Indonesia, and Poland.[1] Their role was to monitor the cease-fire in South Vietnam per the Paris Peace Accords.[13] After Canada’s departure from the Commission, it was replaced by Iran."They were peacekeepers at the end of the war, they weren't involved in the fighting.

The Canadian government sent troops to Vietnam in August 1954 during the partition of Vietnam. They stayed through January 1973. They incurred casualties and several deaths. Confirmation and further details appear in the articles on International Control Commission and International Commission of Control and Supervision, both of which contain extensive links and references.The government of Canada awarded medals to 1,550 of these troops for their service between August 7, 1954 and January 28, 1973.
