Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces have made an enormous contribution to our country and the entire world. It’s our turn now to thank them.
Founded in 2009 by Dr. Paul Kavanagh in association with the Canadian War Museum, Operation Veteran pays tribute to the men and women who have served our nation.
Thanks to contributions from generous private donors, all veterans can receive coupons valued at $11 each, which can be exchanged for refreshments or a meal in The Mess, the War Museum’s cafeteria. Since the creation of Operation Veteran, more than 3,500 veterans have benefited from this program.
Through its educational component, Operation Veteran also builds bridges between the generations by supporting education programs at the Museum. It helps to enrich the already considerable variety of resources and activities on the Museum website by supporting the development of online modules about diplomacy and peace-keeping. This is another way of encouraging young people to become familiar with Canada’s military history and the essential role played by our veterans.
By supporting Operation Veteran, you are providing warm meals for our veterans and helping to perpetuate the memory of their sacrifices and their invaluable contribution to future generations.
