ABOUT US:

The non-profit organisation «Honouring Our Canadian Soldiers» was created on November 16, 2012. It was founded in response to the numerous events and activities that took place with the RIDE IN RED project since 2009.


The main focus of this relatively new yet growing organization will enable us to go further with the current existing support to the Canadian military, from other community organizations. We have come to discover over the years that there are unique needs among the military community that we could fulfill. This will be our ongoing and sustainable contribution!

The ongoing pursuit of our mission will be to strive in combining our efforts to those of various organizations with whom a common goal is shared: that being to continue providing support to our Canadian Troops. Together, we are able to achieve this common goal, for the sake of our Troops and their families.
