Canada made a major contribution, both at home and abroad during WWI: * 600.000 Troops joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). * American Indians or First Nation troops as Canada prefers to call its indigenous population had a 35 percent volunteer rate providing 3,500 men (notable because First Nations peoples are exempt by law from conscription). * Canada with the help of Glen Curtiss of the US trained the majority of the UK's aviators. * Canadian industry was the major supplier of munitions for the early war effort. * Canada's heavy Mennonite population exempt on religious grounds from military service, provided a very large number of litter bearers and non-combatant troops for service. * Canada's Nursing Sisters provided much of the health care needs for the Allied forces. * 70 Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross in WWI. Yes, Canada was in the war to end all wars.
More than 620,000 Canadians served in the First World War. Of these, roughly 67,000 died and more than 170,000 were wounded. These are disproportionately high numbers, considering Canada was only a nation of 7 million at the time. For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Canada_during_World_War_I

The Canadian army fought alongside the British army on many fronts, the most known being the battle of Somme, Paschendale, Ypres, and Vimy. Vimy is the most renowned military exploit of Canada, where Canada used state-of-the-art shells combined with the rolling barrage strategy to regain the Vimy ridge in a very short amount of time.
