Veterans Voices of Canada was begun in 2005. The mission initially was to give tribute the history makers themselves by travelling  across the country and producing on-camera interviews with these honourable men and women.

Beginning with our Second World War veterans, we’ve heard and recorded the stories of those who either joined up to answer the “patriotic call”, to earn money to support their families, or some who merely wanted “adventure”. As many acknowledged afterwards, they did find adventure.

As our Second War veteran interview opportunities with these heroes of the Greatest Generation decreased, we moved on to help capture the stories of  our Korean War, Cold War, Peacekeeping, Balkans, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan war and domestic veterans. Many of the stories are similar, although each one is different and as important to have recorded for history.

What initially started as a personal project to document the stories of our Canadian veterans, has turned into an organization which honors veterans and our true history in many different ways; travelling coast to coast and documenting the stories of  the Veterans from the Second World War to veterans of the war in Afghanistan.

On-camera, history-maker historical documentation, our annual Flags of Remembrance and now our more recent Military History Museum. There is still so much work to do and history to bring forth.  Veterans Voices of Canada will continue to do just that, and we promise to continue to give our veterans and our past history…a voice.

In the end, we honour those honourable men and women who serve through remembering their stories, and more importantly…those who helped make history.
