- For the 1916 British Act of the same name, see Military Service Act (United Kingdom).
In Canadian history, the Military Service Act was a 1917 Act passed by the Canadian government in an effort to recruit more soldiers, so on April 20, 1918, an order-in-council was passed that removed exemptions from the Military Service Act. This left farming operations across Canada short of much-needed labour.
