• " Pickering Veterans' Association" is proud to have a new division known as "Past and Present". We are a
group of Veterans who meet on a monthly basis for camaraderie and to hear informative presentations on
resources and topics primarily about the impact of war on a soldier and the stresses of reintegration to society
/their families following their return from duty.
• To unite Veterans who have returned from various missions throughout the world in service to their
country since 1960.
• Endeavour to keep the name “Veteran” alive in the Community long after the current war has ended.
This is a top priority in our Club. We want to ensure the respect of those that served in wars previous and
present.
• To ensure the Veterans from our original Pickering Veterans’ Association meet with the present Veterans
returning from the current missions throughout the world. Work to the same ultimate goal of continuing
awareness of Veterans in our community.
