A message from our President, Tania Di Renna:

"This Remembrance Day, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all Veterans who have served our country. 

For many Veterans, the impact of service continues long after the uniform comes off. Chronic pain is a reality for many, and we owe it to those who served to ensure they have access to the care and support they deserve.

As President of The Canadian Pain Society, I am proud of our commitment to improving pain care for all Veterans. Every Veteran’s experience matters, and no one should feel forgotten.

Some of us wear polka dots to raise awareness about pain. Many once wore uniforms in service to our country. Today, I hope we all take a moment to wear our poppies, remember those who sacrificed so much, and thank those who continue to live with the lasting effects of service.

To all Veterans, thank you. We remember you. 🌺

Lest we forget.

Tania

En ce jour du Souvenir, je tiens à remercier toutes les vétéranes et tous les vétérans qui ont servi le Canada.

Pour beaucoup, les effets du service se font sentir longtemps après avoir quitté l’uniforme. Certaines et certains vivent avec une douleur chronique qui affecte leur quotidien, souvent sans que leur entourage s’en rende compte. Nous leur devons de les écouter et de veiller à ce qu’ils aient accès aux soins et au soutien dont ils ont besoin.

À titre de présidente de la Société canadienne de la douleur, je suis fière de notre engagement à améliorer les soins de la douleur pour l’ensemble des vétéranes et des vétérans. Chaque parcours compte.

Certaines personnes portent des pois pour sensibiliser le public à la douleur. Beaucoup d’entre vous ont porté l’uniforme au service de notre pays. En ce jour du Souvenir, j’espère que nous porterons toutes et tous le coquelicot et prendrons un moment pour honorer la mémoire des personnes qui ont perdu la vie en service. Prenons aussi le temps de remercier les vétéranes et les vétérans parmi nous, notamment celles et ceux qui vivent encore avec les conséquences de leur service.

À toutes les vétéranes et à tous les vétérans, merci.

N’oublions jamais. 🌺

Tania

[Canadian Pain Society @CanadianPain]

We’re putting the spotlight on the people behind the dots and why pain awareness matters to them.

What would you say? “I’m wearing polka dots for pain awareness because…”

This National Pain Awareness Week, put on your polka dots and help us make pain visible. 📷 Share your photo, tag @CanadianPain and use #PolkaDotsForPain.

For someone living with pain, meaningful support doesn’t always mean having the right answers. Sometimes, it means listening, asking what they need, respecting their boundaries, and avoiding assumptions.

This National Pain Awareness Week, put on your polka dots and help us make pain visible. 📷 Share your photo, tag @CanadianPain and use #PolkaDotsForPain.

When pain is dismissed, many people stop talking about it. Help change that: until Dec. 1, every dollar donated to Pain Canada is matched by a generous donor. https://t.co/O6BUC7gtBU #UnsilencePain #NPAW2026

[Pain Canada @pain_canada]

Many people keep showing up at work while managing pain no one sees. “When Pain Comes Up” gives teams practical ways to talk about it. Share it with yours: https://t.co/lkuElfnly9 #UnsilencePain #NPAW2026

@SandraWoodsMtl We think these dots definitely count! A delicious way to fuel your ride and help make pain visible. #PolkaDotsForPain #NPAW
