Today, we celebrate the country we are proud to call home. 🇨🇦
Canada Day 🇨🇦 is a time to reflect on the values that unite us—compassion, resilience, service, and community. It is also an opportunity to recognize those who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP whose dedication and sacrifice have helped protect these values, both at home and abroad.
At VETS Canada, we are reminded every day that our Veterans' service does not end when they take off the uniform. They deserve our gratitude, our respect, and our commitment to ensuring they have the support they need when facing difficult times.
As Canadians gather with family and friends to celebrate our nation's birthday, we encourage everyone to take a moment to remember those who have served and those who continue to serve our country with honour.
From all of us at VETS Canada, we wish you a safe, happy, and meaningful Canada Day.
Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Hello Veterans in the Halifax area! We have some exciting news! Dr. Heather MacKinnon, who many of you may know, is now working out of our location in Dartmouth one day a week.

Amazing people doing very important work for veterans and CAF members.

[Lt Gov NS @LtGovNS]

It’s amazing to see how much impact @vetscanada has made in our community and across the country. Jim and Deb Lowther have saved lives and made others more livable. Supporting our Veterans who need a hand up. And with great volunteers like Ken, Judie and Jim and others. #Thanks

[Thankasoldier @ThankASoldier]

@Mellyfax Thanks for the heads up!

[VETS Canada 🇨🇦 @vetscanada]

@ThankASoldier We are currently helping over 300 veterans across the country.

[Thankasoldier @ThankASoldier]

@vetscanada helps hundreds of veterans and desperately needs more funding.

.@HICC_ca Minister @GregorRobertson’s department transferred millions out of program to aid homeless veterans after claiming it couldn’t find any. Transfer confidential since it was “likely to generate negative stakeholder reactions,” said an Access To Information memo. #ATI #cdnfoi

A big thank you to #MikeLamb for this great story on our Veterans Community Pantry! Unfortunately, food insecurity has become prevalent across the Country over the past few years. In Nova Scotia, 1 in 4 people are food insecure and utilizing food banks. We are just doing our part to help CAF and RCMP Veterans and serving members who are also struggling with high cost of food. If you are a Veteran, or you know of a Veteran, who is struggling, please reach out. It would be our honour to help you! https://t.co/6YxTW0XJSW

Today we recognize and celebrate International Women’s Day — a day to honour the strength, resilience, and leadership of women everywhere. 💜

Across our communities, women continue to lead, serve, support, and inspire. From those serving in uniform, to Veterans who have paved the way, to the dedicated women working behind the scenes in organizations and communities — your impact is profound and lasting.

At VETS Canada, we are proud to work alongside remarkable women: Veterans, volunteers, staff, partners, and supporters who show every day what compassion, courage, and service truly look like. Their commitment helps ensure that Veterans across Canada receive the support, dignity, and care they deserve.

Today we celebrate the achievements of women, recognize the barriers many still face, and reaffirm our commitment to building a future where every woman is valued, supported, and empowered.

To the women who serve, who have served, and who continue to lift others up — thank you.
