Peacekeeping is the purpose of the Canadian military currently, because we are not in war with any other country, we try to keep peace with the ones who are. You could consider us mediators. However it was not always like this, when Canada was in war (ww1 and ww2) the purpose of the Canadian military was to protect our country, citizens and our allies.
Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal was created in 2000.

The Canadian Army was officially formed on December 1, 1867, following the confederation of Canada. However, its origins trace back to earlier colonial military forces. The army has evolved significantly over the years, participating in various conflicts and peacekeeping missions globally. Today, it is a key part of the Canadian Armed Forces, which includes the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Back when Canada was a military powerhouse with the experience and troops to back up our words with actions we helped create the UN Peacekeeping force. As a result we have been active in most UN Peacekeeping missions, usually as the pointy end of the UN stick.
They do have a Military, they are members of NATO, and take part in the NATO peacekeeping efforts.
