The impact that Support Our Troops and Soldier On has on families, and the ill and injured is life changing and meets the unique needs and challenges faced by members of the Canadian Armed Forces community as a result of their military service.

Feature messages
I am sending a sincere thank you for all that you do to keep our great country safe. As we celebrate the upcoming holiday season, I wish each of you all the best and continued prayers for 2026 as you go above and beyond to protect us all. We are blessed to live in the greatest country in the world and we owe a debt of gratitude to the keepers of our peace. May you feel just how much you all are appreciated as you stand guard to serve and protect. With much gratitude and prayers for your safety.

As the holidays approach, many of us are surrounded by familiar lights, warm traditions, and the comfort of home. I’m mindful that, for many of you, this season looks very different. Whether you’re deployed abroad, supporting operations here in Canada, or standing duty so others can rest—you are the reason so many of us can celebrate safely. Your service doesn’t just protect our country; it creates quiet moments of peace that most Canadians never see yet rely on every day. That impact is real, powerful, and deeply appreciated. Wherever this message finds you, I hope you feel the gratitude of the people you serve—even if you are far from those you love. Thank you for the your resilience, the professionalism, and the sacrifices you continue to make, especially at this time of year.
