About Our Charity

For over 10 years, the Ortona 1st CAV (Canadian Army Veterans) Motorcycle Unit has proudly hosted an annual charity ride, raising vital funds to support those in need within our community. Our efforts focus on assisting veterans, families, and vulnerable individuals through a range of local organizations, including:

• • The Remembrance Garden – honouring fallen soldiers and veterans through annual ceremonies
• • Mission Services – Men’s Mission – providing shelter and support for homeless veterans and others in need
• • Anova Women’s Shelter – supporting female veterans and women escaping violence
• • National Service Dogs – Services for Autism and PTSD
• • St. Joseph’s Hospitality Centre (formerly the Soup Kitchen) – offering meals and compassion to those in need
• • Parkwood Hospital Veterans Care Program – caring for veterans and improving their quality of life.
