Operation Veteran was founded in 2009 by Dr. Paul Kavanagh, in association with the Canadian War Museum, to
honour and raise awareness of veterans and their sacrifices.
Thanks to contributions from generous private donors and many schools across Canada, each veteran visiting the
Museum can receive a coupon valued at $11, which can be exchanged for refreshments or a meal in the Café, the
Museum’s cafeteria. Since the creation of Operation Veteran, more than 15,000 complimentary meals have been
provided to veterans at the Museum.
Educating young people about Canada’s debt to veterans through better understanding of our history is a critical
element of Operation Veteran. To that end, your donation will also support the Museum’s Supply Line program.
Through Supply Line, teachers across Canada can arrange to borrow a First World War Discovery Box. Each box contains
authentic and reproduction items such as barbed wire and steel helmets, as well as lesson plans and background
documents for teachers. The boxes are intended to promote active classroom learning and discussion, and give students
in Grades 4 to 12 a tangible way to imagine what life was like for Canadians during the First World War.

By supporting Operation Veteran, you help us honour veterans, raise awareness of their sacrifices and preserve
Canada’s military history.
