Our thoughts are with all members of the Canadian Armed Forces and the families impacted by the tragic fire at CFB Wainwright. We stand with the military community as they navigate this profound loss, and we honour the lives impacted by this tragedy.

25 years ago, 2,974 lives and families were changed forever. The attacks profoundly impacted Canada, taking the lives of 24 Canadians and resulting in our 12 year operations in Afghanistan where 158 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice and thousands were injured as a result of their service. In the years since, September 11th has formally become Canada’s National Day of Service, and the Provincial Day of Service in the province of Ontario — meant to remember the courage and compassion in the aftermath of 9/11 and rekindle the spirit of kindness and goodwill that unified our country best exhibited by our friends in Gander, Newfoundland. We will never forget.

Devastated to learn of the tragic loss of the Alberta Wildland firefighter who died serving the province in the Jasper area. Our heart goes out to the family and the 700 member fire-line crew for their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the region.

Congratulations to our latest Warrior Kids Camp graduates! So inspiring to see the kids come together to give and receive support while building long lasting peer connections. Thanks to our amazing team for their work delivering this important program that provide essential knowledge around the impact Operational Stress Injuries can have on children and youth in families with a Veteran or First Responder parent.

Canada Day is a time to celebrate and reflect on how fortunate we are to live in this great country. It’s a time to remember the safety, security and freedoms that bind us are not free and come at a cost. To those who serve our country and communities and their families: thank you — we are forever grateful for your service and sacrifice. Happy Canada Day everyone! 🇨🇦

We wanted to share the story of Veteran Lauralee Mills. Lauralee struggled after returning home from Afghanistan and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD. For her, the power of social connection helped her feel safe, supported and understood. #PTSDAwarenessDay

80 years ago today some 14,000 Canadians, including Russell Kaye, secured Juno Beach as part of the largest seaborne invasion in history. Total Allied casualties on D-Day reached more than 10,000, including 1,074 Canadians. We will remember them. 🇨🇦 🙏

The 2024 @wwrunbc wrapped up in Victoria this weekend, with many first responders and military service members on hand to welcome the runners across the finish line. Team Paramedic & Sayward Unit Chief Aggie Pringle supported the runners on their entire journey.

The team has completed their 8 day, 800 KM run and raised over $180,000! The mental health conversations and connections made were invaluable. Our thanks to all members of the Run team, their donors, and sponsors who make the event possible. We're already excited for next year!
