Vancouver BC
Join on our fundraising walk to support True Patriot Love, our non-profit who is deeply committed to:
1. Supporting STRONGER CANADIAN MILITARY FAMILIES, as spouses, caregivers, children, and youth are called upon to make profound sacrifices along with their loved ones.
2. Improving the REHABILITATION AND RECOVERY journey through the power of sport, expeditions, and community based programming.
3. Prioritizing WELL BEING, by investing in mental health and transition programs amongst others.
4. Providing resources to organizations that foster CONNECTION WITH COMMUNITIES, including mentorship, volunteerism, and advocacy.
WHAT to expect: We will walk together (loosely) once around South Memorial Park (SMP*) to connect with each other and finish up with community connections, snacks and beverages for registrants.
WHO: Anybody who has registered can join the walk. Family and friends are of course most welcome to join the moment of reflection at the SMP* cenotaph, and the pre- and post-gathering at ANAF.
WHY: to get the word out that our presently serving, retired, and veterans who have made sacrifices to serve us Canadians, deserve support.
