Event Details and Mission
Join us on Saturday, February 27, 2027, for an evening dedicated to honouring Canada’s veterans and serving military members while raising awareness, support, and critical funds for Veterans’ House Canada.
The Flag Day Dinner is a celebration of our Canadian flag, our country, and the men and women who have proudly served—and continue to serve—Canada. It is an opportunity for our community to come together in a spirit of patriotism, gratitude, and remembrance while helping address the critical issue of veteran homelessness in Canada.
Our goal is to provide a free-of-charge evening of dining, entertainment, and camaraderie for serving Canadian Armed Forces members and veterans, ensuring that those who have dedicated themselves to our country are able to join us and feel the appreciation of the community they served.
Together, we can honour their service, celebrate our flag, and help provide hope, dignity, and a brighter future for veterans in need.
