​
5. We reached an agreement with the Royal Canadian Legion – Branch 77 of Waterloo, Québec to install plaque #2 on their premises

Goals for 2016:

1. To host the “Annual Candlelight Ceremony” in more regions
2. To host an unveiling ceremony for plaque #2 in Waterloo Qc (Done July 1st 2016)
3. To work on having plaque #3 installed in other areas of Canada where an agreement can be reached with  Royal Canadian Legions
4. To host a weekend retreat for our SOS Families
5. Get people to host the 5th Candlelight Ceremony in 10 different region across Canada for February 21st 2017

 
In order to attain these goals, we need and must rely on financial support. Thank you to all who are helping us to bring moral support to our SOS families. (We are only able to provide this kind of support to the SOS Families if they authorize us to mention the name of their loved one. We respect this rule to make sure we don’t offend any SOS Families who prefer to keep the pain of the loss of their loved one, a private matter).
