We Honour Canada's Fallen - Freedom is not Free

The Family Program provides children of Veterans with an operational stress injury (OSI) with the tools to understand their parent’s injury. They can then safely engage with their parent on a bad day and understand their parent’s behaviour is not their fault. This breaks the cycle that trauma can create, providing a healthier future for those children.

This project builds upon the success of Challenge Factory’s Veteran Ready Employer program and is dedicated to following VAC’s employment strategy by piloting the program under a selected operational model to test for sustainability and adoption. Following a pilot, feedback will be collected, and an implementation plan will be created.

This initiative encourages CAF members and Veterans to participate in clinical research and to pledge to donate their brains upon their death. Operation Brain Health encourages Veterans to exercise, improve their diet, sleep properly, and build their cognitive reserve to support ongoing symptoms from brain injury.

This project broadens Camp Maple Leaf's support to Canadian Veterans and serving military personnel families across seven provinces, offering a safe space for children to share their experiences and build connections within the military community.

This project will support Canadian and allied military Veterans and their families facing the enduring challenges of occupational stress injuries from service-related activities. Its primary mission is to prevent Veteran suicide by fostering a strong, supportive, accountable network.

Through this 30-month project, Rainbow Resource Centre, Inc. will address the needs and barriers to equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities. This will be achieved by identifying systemic change opportunities and raising awareness about hate and discrimination and the forms it takes in the media, online and in the community. In an effort to advance and protect queer rights, the organization will look to increase the representation of 2SLGBTQI+ people in all sectors by facilitating focus groups to identify top issues for employers experiencing gender transitions in the workplace, by creating online eLearning modules, developing a toolkit, offering training opportunities for employers and the health care sector, and by implementing a strategic marketing campaign to promote the tools that shape a more collective response to addressing improved equality for all community members.

Through this 24-month project, 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. will address the needs and barriers to equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities in urban and rural Manitoba. More specifically, through community involvement and engagement with Indigenous and 2SLGBTQI+ communities, the project will address hate and discrimination and improve access to inclusive services to better support the community members in the province. The organization will host and facilitate workshops and sharing circles, collect feedback from participants, conduct a needs assessment on 2Spirit anti-discrimination, conduct surveys, develop an evaluation logic model and matrix, and develop community-informed toolkit resources for the members and other service providers.

By the end of the project, 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. will change attitudes, behaviours, and increase knowledge and education within the sector to promote equality and wellbeing of 2SLGBTQI+ individuals across the province.

Through this 24-month project, the Alliance Arc-en-ciel de Québec will address the Québec City 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ needs and barriers to equality. To achieve this, the organization will launch an awareness campaign to educate the public about the realities sexually and gender-diverse people experience in the events industry. It will also collect data from event promoters to determine their specific needs and outline customized solutions. Then, the Alliance will adopt practices for inclusion and cross-sectoral collaboration with the festivals and events industry. It will also develop a best practice guide and training for the events industry to foster the creation of safe spaces and address intersectional barriers.
