"Soldier On is a program of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) which contributes to the recovery of ill and injured CAF members and veterans by providing opportunities and resources through sport, recreational, and creative activities. Soldier On is recognized for improving the quality of life of the ill and injured and is a highly visible and integral component of the Department of National Defence, and the CAF’s commitment to the care of ill and injured members. Generous Canadians support the program through donations and fundraising to the Soldier On Fund, which is managed by Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services" (Soldier On).
Soldier On 2019 donation
Members of the Silver Totems Hockey Team presented a cheque for $1,400 to the command team of Transition Centre Comox, accepting on behalf of Soldier On, on December 6. The money was raised by proceeds from the Silver Totems’ annual sports camp held in August, and from donations collected by the team from parents, spectators, and interested parties. The Silver Totems is the official old timers’ hockey team for 19 Wing Comox and plays against other teams from across Vancouver Island. Each year they raise money for Soldier On, a program of the Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group, committed to supporting veterans and serving members to adapt and overcome permanent physical or mental health injury or illness through physical activity and sport.
