Invisible Ribbon Gala: CANADA 

When you think of Canada, what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s politeness, snowy winters and summers by the lake. How about bilingualism, hockey or even home? For many military families, answering the common question of “Where are you from?” or “Where is home?” is not an easy task.

​A military family could start their journey on the west coast in Comox, British Columbia and then find themselves posted to Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador on the east coast. With every posting comes the opportunity to plant roots anywhere! But how would you describe ‘home’ when you have lived in so many places across Canada? 

​For most, the simple answer is “Canada is home!” With this in mind, the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) is pleased to host its 16th annual Invisible Ribbon Gala: CANADA. Join us as we will celebrate the true north, strong and free! ​

While the COVID-19 pandemic put our community to the test, it has also shown unparalleled strength. Our healthcare workers, military members and all other frontline workers were called to step up and wrap their arms around their communities in our time of need. Whether it was assisting in long-term care facilities or helping distribute the vaccine to remote communities in the north, they answered the call to action. The leaps and bounds we’ve made as a country have only been made possible through all of their collective efforts. Whether you are a military member or a community member, we’ve all had a part to play in this ongoing narrative - now it’s your turn to help us write the next chapter.
