Veterans Ride Across Canada Passing Through Ste. Anne Communities for Veterans Foundation the ride across canada mission is to bring communities together through the introduction of their veterans on a horseback ride across Canada. Canada continues to be home to over 540,000 veterans whose average age is fifty-six (56). In order to understand our veterans and their needs, it is imperative that we hear their stories and get a clear vision of who our veterans are. The Ride Across Canada introduces the faces and stories of over 700 veterans from Victoria to St. John’s, Newfoundland. Throughout the ride, their goal is to share stories, encourage discussion and bridge the gap between civilian and military communities. Together we can change the statistics for our soldiers and work toward reducing the instances of mental illness, depression, family trauma and suicide. For 211 days, they will continue to ride across Canada raising awareness and funds to support veteran equine therapy programs. On Monday morning of July 20th the Ride Across Canada is planned to arrive in Ste. Anne and head towards Richer around 10 am where the Richer Community Club is hosting a fun gymkhana in the Richer Dawson Trail Park, then everyone is welcome to a suds, spud and steak fundraiser dinner held at the Richer Inn that evening. For more information or if you are a veteran and want your story heard or would like to join in on the fun call Dan at 204-355-8798 or visit www.communitiesforveterans.com.
