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.

Thank you Minister for taking the time to meet with us and to @WoundWarriorCA for hosting the discussion and the work you do for all Military and Emergency Services personnel.

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

Congratulations to our Warrior Kids Ontario grads who put the work in and completed their program today. Inspiring to see the kids come together to give and receive support while building long lasting peer connections.

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. 🇨🇦 🙏

On International Women’s Day, and everyday, we thank and celebrate the amazing women who keep our country and communities safe and those who serve (in their own right) alongside our Veterans and First Responders. Happy International Women’s Day!

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!

Huge thank you @wwrunbc team for pushing through a gruelling 800km run down island in 8 days. Your passion and drive inspired caring people on VI to support this vital cause to treat and prevent operational stress injuries. @SaanichPolice are grateful for our partnership #yyj

"The inspiring annual campaign to support veterans and first responders stopped in #Nanaimo earlier this week before continuing south to #Victoria. One of the stops for the #WoundedWarriors Canada was at Nanaimo Legion Branch #10" @wwrunbc @WoundWarriorCA nanaimonewsnow.com/2024/03/03/vid…
