Featured Veteran’s Organization: Homes For Heroes Foundation

‍This year, we are proud to highlight the Homes For Heroes Foundation (H4HF), as our Featured Veteran’s organization for our Annual Reception. H4HF provides supportive housing and tailored reintegration programs that include mental health counselling, group therapy, skills development and financial literacy as they empower Veterans to transition to independent, civilian living.

H4HF is a proven model. Currently operating 3 villages across Canada in Calgary, Edmonton and Kingston, they are set to open a village in London, Ontario and Winnipeg, Manitoba by the Spring of 2026, and looking to Halifax as an upcoming village location. With an 87% success rate, they are fiscally responsible with .82 cents of every dollar donated going directly back into their programs. With over 10,000 unhoused Veterans across Canada, their focus is to end Veteran homelessness. Homes For Heroes believes that those who have served our country deserve more than gratitude – they deserve a positive path forward and their mission is to ensure that no Veteran is left behind.

Event Highlights

‍The evening will feature speeches from industry leaders, event partners, and sponsors, focusing on the importance of strengthening maritime defence through collaboration and innovation. Attendees will also have opportunities to network, foster new relationships, and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of the industry. Sponsors will have the chance to showcase their commitment to the maritime defence community, offering insight into their products, services, and industry leadership.

As the evening progresses, guests can explore the historic Halifax Citadel, taking in its stunning architecture and deep-rooted history, all while enjoying an open bar and lively entertainment.

We look forward to welcoming you to this exceptional evening of networking and celebration!
