Through teamwork, leadership and adaptability, Veterans have the unique skills that make them valued members in the workforce. That's why Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) is investing more than $15 million over three years in the Veteran and Family Well-Being Fund (VFWF) to support innovative programs that help Veterans successfully transition to life after service.
Yesterday, the Honourable Darren Fisher, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence announced another recipient of 2024-2025 funding: True Patriot Love Foundation. With an investment of $910,000, True Patriot Love will create a national network of Veteran-ready employers, helping to improve recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and retention practices across Canada.
The announcement was made at the Veteran Employment Symposium, hosted in partnership with True Patriot Love Foundation, and coinciding with Invictus Games 2025. The Symposium brought together Veterans as well as corporate and community leaders from across Canada and Invictus nations, to strengthen employment opportunities for those who have served.
Since its launch in 2018, VAC has provided over $42 million in funding for research and innovative initiatives that support the well-being of Veterans and their families. This investment marks one of several upcoming announcements under the VFWF, with additional recipients to be announced in the coming weeks.
