Canadian Legacy Project

Did you know? In 2021, Statistics Canada reported 461,240 veterans living in Canada, with 16% - over 70,000 - suffering from a PTS injury. Unfortunately, support programs for these veterans are insufficient. To address this critical need, the Canadian Legacy Project, a national, volunteer-run registered charity partners with local agencies to provide free support programs. https://www.canadianlegacy.org/

Red tide rising! Lace up, shout loud, and watch Canada own the pitch — one goal, one dream. 🔴🇨🇦⚽️

Boots to Barbells is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans and active members of the Canadian Armed Forces through fitness, education, mentorship, and community engagement. Their Personal Training Pathway Program empowers participants by fostering confidence, accountability, and industry knowledge, while facilitating meaningful connections. This program helps individuals explore career opportunities in the health and fitness industry as personal trainers.

The Canadian Legacy Project, a registered charity run entirely by volunteers is delighted to partner with Mount Royal University in Calgary. Together, we offer an annual bursary which covers tuition fees, for Canadian Armed Forces members and their immediate families who are experiencing financial need. The goal of this bursary is to support those who have served or continue to serve our country. https://www.canadianlegacy.org/university-bursary/

Did you know? In a 2023 study, the Canadian Veterans' Well-being Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) conducted by Veterans Affairs Canada, veterans expressed a greater need for recognition and appreciation of their sacrifices and selflessness in service.

Veterans identified a unique necessity for their health and well-being - the importance of feeling recognized, appreciated, and remembered for their military service and the contributions it made to Canadian society, both historically and in the present day.

Many veterans joined the armed forces knowing they could risk their lives. While their service brought positive experiences, they spoke of long-lasting impacts on their health and relationships, including chronic pain and strained family ties. Some felt their immense personal sacrifices were not fully understood by civilians. https://www.canadianlegacy.org/

In partnership with HavenPoint Health, Canadian Legacy Project is proud to present Sister Strength – a 24-week, therapist-led group counselling program that provides a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed environment where women Veterans can engage in healing, connection and recovery alongside peers with shared military experiences. This program is offered at no cost to participants. https://www.canadianlegacy.org/sister-strength/
