About the Foundation

Every year, the Foundation hosts four major fundraising events. Each helps raise awareness of the work we do in a fun, memorable and meaningful way, while raising much-needed funding. For event details, sponsorship opportunities and ticket sales, click the links below.

Footprints to Remember: A gala evening honouring past and serving members of the Canadian Forces. Coming up on Saturday, November 8, 2008.

5th Annual Charity Golf Tournament:   With the cooperation of the weather this year, the 5th annual golf tournament was a resounding success. Teams challenged the course which was in excellent shape. The event grossed $36,000.This is possible thanks to our many supporters. Of special note, we would like to acknowledge and thank Investors Group Financial Services Inc. and Tom Martin of Esso Car Clinic on Hillside for their generous support over the history of the tournament.


Congratulations to our first place team: Luc Caron, Trevor Walters and Wayne Ironmonger (missing) pictured above with Sharon Gillean-Shalinsky, Chair of the Foundation and Tom Martin.

The Foundation also acknowledges and bids farewell to Major General (Ret'd) Herb Pitts and Vice Admiral (Ret'd) Nigel Brodeur. Their leadership of the tournament went above and beyond the call of duty. We also acknowledge the tremendous efforts of Jim Parker who we hope to see back next year.

If you would like to get involved with the organization of the 2009 tournament, contact the Foundation office at 658-3220.
