Badge of Life Canada is proud to announce that the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario will be delivering the opening remarks of this year’s event at the Horseshoe Resort in Ontario. We hope that you are able to attend to listen to this “Storyteller-in-Chief”.
Her Honour has set out to engage with Ontarians through a variety of community events, encouraging people to listen to each other and to engage in meaningful dialogue, including mental wellness and Public Safety Personnel.
