We are a group of veterans who found ourselves transitioning from the Canadian Armed Forces and no access to environmental rehabilitation type programs. We decided to take action and help other veterans gain access to the health benefits of being in nature.

We have created The Veteran Farm Project Society to give all veterans the experience of nature through horticulture programs. We aim to maximize a veteran’s physical, psychological and social strength and enhance general health and well-being.

Participants can access all 20 acres of the property and take part in any activity that brings them joy or challenges their skills and knowledge.

The farm is accessible to those with physical disabilities or challenges and there are specific areas that aid in helping with mental health injuries.

As a group of female veterans we understand the importance of a safe, enriched space where women can come together and be comfortable to share their stories and challenges. We will be providing programs that are specifically geared towards female veterans and the general public.
