$1M legion donation to support virtual-reality-based veteran PTSD treatments ctvnews.ca/edmonton/artic…

Thank you to the Royal Canadian Legion for its generous donation of more than $1M to support the Canadian Military, Veteran and Family Connected Campus Consortium (CMVF3C). This donation will help the University of Alberta grow its supports for veterans and their families as they pursue post-secondary education.

Are you a family member or close relation of a Canadian Veteran who has struggled with ethical questions or trust in humanity? Researchers are investigating how moral injury affects families. We want to hear your story. Contact Dr. Smith-MacDonald at himarcr6@ualberta.ca

HiMARC is grateful for our partnership with the Royal Canadian Legion! @SuzettePhD celebrates a $50k donation from Kingsway Branch #175, presented by Executive Secretary Jackie Hyshka, President Rick Etmanski, and District 2 AB/NWT Command Deputy District Commander Dave Basham.

From the HiMARC Director: I was humbled and honoured today to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal from Universities Canada together with 56 others. Earnest thanks to Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray, President of Saint Mary's University, for the nomination.  Proudly 🇨🇦

On Remembrance Day, flags were flown at half mast at the University of Alberta in honour of those who serve and have served. Professor Bremault-Phillips laid a wreath on behalf of the University of Alberta and HiMARC during the Royal Canadian Legion Kingsway Branch #175 ceremony.

On October 30, the U of A was proud to lead the signing of the Guiding Principles for the Canadian Military, Veteran and Family Connected Campus Consortium, which supports those who have served or are serving to pursue academic success. Thank you to all our government and post-secondary partners for your continued support and engagement, and an even bigger thank you to our military personnel and their families for including us in your future endeavors.
