As Canada's largest veteran and community service organization, our members carry a lot of weight. We are able to reflect their voices and influence policies at local, regional and national levels. We regularly see the results of our advocacy work reflected in programs, services and benefits for our veterans and their families. We have strong opinions and share them with those in a posi- tion to institute change – from advocating for more research into the use of the anti-malarial drug mefloquine and medical marijuana, to call- ing for a more coordinated and stronger array of actions to improve mental health services.
