Legacy Project
Supporting Canadian Veterans As They Transition To Civilian Life
The Canadian Legacy Project was formed in 2008 with the dual goals of supporting Canadian Veterans in their time of need and advocating on their behalf. As a registered charity, the organization’s mission is to develop and fund programs not currently offered or sufficiently supported by Veterans Affairs. In addition, the Canadian Legacy Project works to recognize and celebrate the sacrifices of Canadian Veterans, while educating the public about their service to the country.
Our Mission is to support and advocate for Canadian Veterans by funding critical programs not fully covered by Veterans Affairs, empowering Veteran entrepreneurship, uplifting underserved female Veterans, and honouring our Veterans' service through public education.
Canadian Legacy Project is privileged to collaborate with Paws 4 Resiliency in Alberta and Veteran’s Elite Canines in Ontario to present our Paws That Protect Her program.
This initiative is unique in Canada as it is the only service dog program tailored to support the specific needs of female Veterans. The program is offered to participants at no cost.
Paws That Protect Her Project
The Canadian Legacy Project recognizes that female Veterans are more likely to experience higher rates of PTSD than their male counterparts, often as a result of combat trauma, sexual assault, and harassment. Service dogs are carefully selected and trained for their ability to recognize and respond to emotional human distress, including stress, anxiety, and fear. Through this bond, they provide critical support, comfort, and stability—helping these courageous women navigate daily life and continue their path toward healing.
We are a National charity with our administrative office located in Calgary.
