The Beginning Of Something Special

 My dream is to build a retreat where soldiers, families of the fallen, those dealing with PTSD, and our extended family can come to relax and heal through time together. Our good friend Tony from Muskoka Log Homes is donating the cottage, Canada what can you do to help make this dream become a reality? The initial drawings for the retreat are in and they look fantastic!

Canadian Heroes Vehicle #9

Canadian Heroes Memorial Vehicle #9 is all set to go! It is being delivered to Trimline Burlington today, so Paul and the boys can work their magic yet again. As you may recall this vehicle will become a memorial to those lost from Newfoundland. It will have the 11 pictures of our lost Heroes on it, and will be sent to the island when completed and remain there. We will keep you updated as the progress unfolds,
