TRUE PATRIOT LOVE FOUNDATIONTrue Patriot Love Foundation is a national charity that is changing the lives of military members, Veterans and their families across Canada. By funding more than 825 programs that support mental health, physical rehabilitation, transition to life after service, and the unique needs of children and families, we’ve helped 30,000 military and Veteran families in need over the past decade. In addition, True Patriot Love contributes to advancements in research and technology through our $5 million commitment to the Canadian Institute for Military and Veterans Health Research (Queen’s University).

Below are a few examples of the initiatives we’re proud to support.

Veterans Transition Network

A group treatment program that helps Veterans living with symptoms of operational stress injury as they transition more successfully into civilian life.

An award-winning organization that delivers skill-based distance learning for children, youth and families to help overcome mild to moderate mental health and/or behavioural concerns.

Strongest Families Institute

Legacy Place Society

Legacy Place Society is dedicated to building family resiliency through mental health and accommodation supports. Offering a safe environment, Legacy Place Houses support military personnel while they seek medical assistance as a result of their service and/or family circumstance.

The Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR) is focused on research devoted to the health and well-being of those who protect and serve Canadians at home and abroad.

TRUE PATRIOT LOVE FOUNDATION ABOUT THE EVENTThe 2nd Annual Captain Nichola Goddard Reception Series

True Patriot Love will host three separate Captain Nichola Goddard Receptions, presented by Bennett Jones, in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary to support women in the military. Bringing together military members, business leaders and community partners, these events will provide insight and generate inspiring discussion surrounding the unique experiences women face in the Canadian Armed Forces. The events will build on the success of the inaugural 2018 reception in Toronto, featuring a panel of speakers from the military community discussing how their military careers have shaped and defined them into the leaders they are today. The events will take place on October 30 in Toronto and the Spring of 2020 in Vancouver and Calgary with the goal of raising upwards of $100,000 collectively for the Captain Nichola Goddard Fund.

Looking back at the 1st Annual Captain Nichola Goddard Cocktail Reception

In 2018, True Patriot Love hosted the inaugural Captain Nichola Goddard Reception, presented by Bennett Jones. Guests gathered to pay tribute to women in the military and heard from a panel of successful women in the Canadian Armed Forces as they shared their stories of courage and leadership. The sold-out event included over 180 attendees and raised over $56,000 for the True Patriot Love Captain Nichola Goddard Fund.

THE CAPTAIN NICHOLA GODDARD FUND

The fund has supported initiatives such as: Veterans Emergency Transition

Services (VETS) Canada

Funding was directed towards the VETS Canada/ Captain Nichola Goddard Support Initiative for Veteran

women in crisis.

Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 110)

Funding supported the “Supporting Veterans Wives Group” which is a new initiative that will enable the development

and facilitation of a monthly peer support group for spouses of aging Veterans.

Women are underrepresented in the military and account for only 15% of the Canadian Armed Forces. Female members of the Canadian military face unique challenges related to their service such as a higher risk of military-related sexual assault than their male counterparts, and a higher likelihood of mental injuries such as post traumatic stress for women who report military-related sexual assault. In addition, 40% of the military personnel released each year will experience a psychological injury requiring support and treatment, and Veteran women have an 81% higher risk of suicide than the general female population.

True Patriot Love is committed to supporting women in the military and their families. Through the Captain Nichola Goddard Fund, True Patriot Love provides national funding to directly benefit community programs that support servicewomen, Veteran women and their families. The Fund was established in memory of Captain Nichola Goddard, the first female Canadian soldier to die in a combat role, and as of 2018, the Fund is being managed by True Patriot Love Foundation.

To date $260,000 has been committed from the Captain Nichola Goddard Fund.

Fellow Canadian,

Nichola always believed she could help. It’s what motivated her to join the military when a recruiter first visited her high school in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

When we were growing up, Nichola’s unrelenting tenacity always inspired me. As I got older, I realized that her drive wasn’t a given. I realized that women across Canada, and around the world, regularly face discrimination and bias on the road to achieving their dreams. But Nichola always kept her drive, and it helped her lead her soldiers in Afghanistan.

We started the Captain Goddard Fund to celebrate and serve strong women like Nichola who have the courage to never take no for an answer. They are the servicewomen,Veteran women, and their families, who protect the values integral to Canada and stand on guard for those less fortunate around the world.

Since the fund was created, we’ve seen incredible support from Canadians. With True Patriot Love carrying on the legacy through the Captain Nichola Goddard Fund, $260,000 has been committed to programs supporting women from the military community and their families. And with your help, we will continue to support organizations that stand for women like Nichola, helping to manage the realities of a career in the military. Canada needs strong women, and the women that served before, with, and after Nichola are the strongest I’ve ever met.

Nichola would have been incredibly proud of the programs we’ve been able to create in her legacy. And for that, my family and I are forever thankful.

Letter from Katherine Rusk, sister of Captain Nichola Goddard
