The True Patriot Love Foundation was founded by a group of citizens dedicated to improving the well-being and morale of members of the Canadian military and their families.

Through fundraising and education efforts, the True Patriot Love Foundation seeks to engage Canadians on issues of importance to military families. By providing support and relief, financial and otherwise, the Foundation strives to complement existing efforts to help meet the needs of Canada’s heroes abroad and the families they leave behind.

We are honoured to have the Leaders of the political parties, the Premiers of our Provinces and Territories, all the former Prime Ministers, and Leaders of the indigenous communities sitting on our committee.
