History

The Quebec Veterans Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to organizations that aim to help veterans residing in Quebec during their transition to civilian life. In constant evolution, the Foundation transformed itself in 2017 to optimize its direct impact with the largest number of veterans possible.

While preserving its roots at Ste. Anne’s Hospital, our organization is spreading its wings and participating in promising programs that meet the needs of more veterans. Our focus currently includes veterans suffering from an Operational Stress Injury, such as PTSD, homelessness, unemployment, and veterans in long-term care.

Our Mission

The Quebec Veterans Foundation supports essential programs for veterans who face significant challenges during their transition to civilian life. Our main area of interest is associated with traumas related to operational stress injuries (OSI) – both physical and mental – as well as challenges related to substance abuse and depression.
 
Additionally, we fund therapeutic, social, and commemorative programs for veterans residing at the Ste. Anne’s Hospital in long-term care.

Our Vision

We firmly believe that the men and women who have served our country should all feel pride and find a new purpose by contributing to their community as part of their civilian life.
 
They have represented our Canadian values around the world, here and elsewhere, by providing assistance to vulnerable people, offering security to those in danger, and showing empathy and comfort towards stigmatized populations.

WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT

Meeting the needs of veterans during and after their transition to civilian life Thousands of veterans of all ages face personal and specific challenges during their transition to civilian life. Initiatives funded by the Quebec Veterans Foundation helps them access a better life marked by dignity, resilience, and strength.

This is achieved through parallel care and services, including activities tailored to their needs, in collaboration with health professionals at Ste-Anne Hospital and external partners from several regions of Quebec who offer programs adapted to the challenges faced.

Throughout my military career, I have had the opportunity to work with exceptional women and men. Serving alongside them was a privilege. The stakes in the transition to civilian life are high. Some have to deal with service-related injuries, others, such as our veterans in long-term care at Ste. Anne’s Hospital are looking for stimulating activities and a deserved quality of care. I, therefore, invite you to give generously to provide comfort and serenity to these women and men who have courageously and with honour served our country. You can make a difference in their lives.

Thank you!
