Veterans Affairs Canada Aug 30. 2021Looking for inspiration as you cheer on Team Canada?
Look to Steve Daniel. For 14 years he proudly served as a paratrooper with the Royal Canadian Regiment. After suffering a spinal cord injury, he turned to sports with the dream of one day becoming a Paralympian.
Only two years after his injury, he achieved his dream. He competed with the National Adaptive Rowing Team in the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, proving he was one of the best in the world.
Good luck to Team Canada at this year’s Summer Paralympic Games in Tokyo!

After a stressful deployment, Sergeant (Ret’d) Geneviève Gauthier took important steps to care of her mental health.
Once home, she recognized that she needed help coping. During her treatment, she was diagnosed with PTSD and got the help she needed.
She hopes her actions will inspire others to seek the treatment they need.
Veterans, family members and caregivers can call 1-800-268-7708 at any time to speak to a mental health professional.

Veterans Affairs Canada Sept 29. 2021“It was hard to make the transition from a completely structured life. You get used to a structured life, a regular pay cheque and you’re always with colleagues and friends. Even when you go to the mess for a meal by yourself, you know friends will be there.’’

“It was the most brutal physical thing I’ve ever done.”
After Kate MacEachern was hurt during a training exercise, she knew she wanted to help other injured Veterans. That’s why she set off on a 580-kilometre walk to raise money for charity – and awareness about PTSD.

Veterans Affairs Canada Jan 31. 2022Bruno Guevremont served two tours in Afghanistan with two different branches of the CAF. Now, he’s sharing what he has learned about achieving goals in life after service.
“After transition, you have to learn new skills,” advises Guevremont. “We often forget that we have the ability to learn new skills.”
Guevremont, the only CAF member ever to defuse a live suicide bomb, also served as Captain for Canada’s Invictus Games team in 2016.

Veterans Affairs Canada May 27. 2022Veteran Jeff Becker thinks of humanitarian service as “soul food.” His desire to serve led him to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) where he spent 15 years as a Combat Engineer.
Since releasing from the military in 2013, he has continued to find spiritual sustenance as a “Greyshirt” with Team Rubicon, helping communities in the B.C. Interior, northern Ontario and even Florida recover from disasters.
