Good day to all; I have attached a french article on Cplc Aube from Valcartier; he is an avid golfer and Soldier On funds and activities have help support his efforts in his recovery.

Sorry everyone I made a mistake in identifying Toyota Canada as the big sponsor for the upcoming TARGA race but it is actually HONDA CANADA, my apologies. Got the dealers right though  ACURA dealers across Canada are participating.

Big Thanks to HONDA Canada for supporting Jody and Andrew's race.

Good day to all;

Posting a couple of pictures of Pte Rob Webster ( posted about him earlier) he was introduced to sailing this summer. He is able to control the boat via a "blow tube" he is very skilled with his chair and
with practice I am sure he will excel at sailing.

Phil Tweedie PPCLI Alumni is pictured with Rob.

Good day to all;

Need to update the World Paratriathlon post, I was not aware at the time of the post that we had 2 CF personnel competing in the upcoming event. 2Lt Devon King from Kingston is also competing

Good day to all;

Jenn Corbett has put together a cook book over the past year and is producing it for sale. Proceeds will be going to the Soldier On Fund. 600 orders and counting. She has surpassed what she thought would be ordered and is excited about the support she is getting. The recipes are from CF families and supporters. Link to information on how to get one for yourself is below.

Those are some wicked race suits, Andrew. Has there been thought to either auction them off, or produce more for sale as a fundraiser?

Good day everyone;

I am looking for feedback on the Soldier On logo that I have attached. What are your thoughts? What do you think would best represent the ethos of the program?

1. The Tri Service Badge?
or
2. The Yellow Ribbon?

I agree with Bruce, the yellow ribbon is getting a bit over used.  I like the crest the way it is.
