Badge of Life Canada was proud to attend the Orillia OPP Veterans’ and Family BBQ—a day filled with connection, camaraderie, and appreciation for those who have served and the families who stand beside them.
It was a privilege to share space with OPP veterans, active members, and their loved ones while highlighting the importance of continued mental health support beyond active service. Flanders, our Canine Assisted Intervention Animal, was a big hit—especially during his visit with the OPP helicopter crew!
Thank you to the organizers for creating a welcoming and meaningful event. We are honoured to continue walking alongside the OPP community, promoting wellness, and supporting those who have given so much.
