	13.05.2018 Denis LeBlanc The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1957 to Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson for his work putting together the very first U.N. peacekeepers; the peacekeepers received a Nobel Peace Prize in 1988. Canada contributed significant troops to the U.N. to keep the peace since the very beginning. The Canadian monument to peacekeeping honours all peacekeepers.
