Valentines for Vets | All Ages

Nov 11 2024

Event Details

Where: West Vancouver Memorial Library - Storyhouse
Date: November 11
When: 1:00 - 5:00pm

This Remembrance Day, create a handmade valentine in the Youth Department and we’ll send it to a Canadian Veteran via Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC).

The Valentines for Vets program helps us thank our Veterans, not only on Remembrance Day, but also throughout the year. It is an opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments and sacrifices of our Veterans and give children a greater understanding of Canada’s military history.

Each year, VAC invites people to make Valentines for Vets. VAC then distributes the valentines to Veterans in long-term care facilities across the country by February 14.

Drop in—no registration required.
