President’s Message

January 2025

Happy New Year!

It is amazing that we are now in 2025, a year which is very exciting for all involved with this remarkable educational program, focused on the importance of commemoration of our veterans, through the eyes of our youth.

15 years in 2025. I can hardly believe it as I write it down.  From extremely humble beginnings, where we began the very first (number one) ceremony, to today, we know we should all be so proud of the over 300 events that have taken place in 2024.

Thank you for helping us reach so many Canadians. I want to thank all of you; no matter how big or small your involvement has been, every little step has led us here.  So, what do we do with this milestone?  We don’t look back and start again; we refresh and forge into the next 15 years with the support of our important volunteers, donors, educators, students, serving military members, the public, our friends and families and our mighty small staff.

We are so proud of our results in 2024.
