5 Star Ways to Celebrate Canada Day

Celebrate with purpose this Canada Day. Explore five ways you can support veterans and make a lasting impact.

1. Donate in Memory of a Loved One

Honour someone dear to you while helping a veteran transition out of homelessness. Veteran housing insecurity is closer to home than many of us realize and your gift makes a direct difference.

A monthly donation in memory of a loved one will help complete our Edmonton home while supporting emerging needs at the Andy Carswell Building. It takes a whole society to tackle veteran homelessness. Become a monthly donor today and help more veterans move from precarious housing into stability.

Donate in their memory: https://www.veteranshousecanada.ca/donate/

2. Leave a Legacy Gift

A legacy gift is one of the most powerful and personal ways to stand behind a cause you truly believe in. Through Veterans’ House Canada, you can save 20% off the cost of creating your Will, while ensuring your values live on long into the future.

The impact of a legacy gift is far-reaching: a tidal wave of support for unhoused veterans for generations to come. When planning for your family’s future, consider how a meaningful gift could create lasting change.

Not sure where to start? Our team is here to help. Creating a legacy is a deeply personal decision, and we’re happy to answer any questions. 

Create your Will with a legacy gift.

3. Donate Stocks or Securities

Donating publicly traded stocks or securities is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give in Canada — and it goes far beyond the tax receipt. It’s a chance to support those who served courageously and the causes that matter most to you.

To make a gift of securities, complete our Donation of Securities form and our team will walk you through the rest.

4. Become a Corporate Partner

Align your company’s long-term social impact with a mission that matters. By partnering with Veterans’ House Canada, your organization helps fund the construction of permanent, veteran-centered homes across Canada — and takes a meaningful stand against veteran homelessness.

We welcome corporate partners of all sizes. Let’s build something lasting together.
