True Patriot Love Foundation

Since 2012, the True Patriot Love Foundation (TPL) has produced ambitious expeditions around the world, pairing business leaders with members of

the Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans. These expeditions highlight the perseverance and unconquerable spirit of our Veterans in the face of adversity, and provides them with long lasting mentorship opportunities as they transition to civilian life. Proceeds from past expeditions have funded programs that support Veteran transition, including employment placement for 144 injured Veterans, and the creation of virtual reality treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that is being used by 54 clinicians across the country.

In 2019 True Patriot Love Expeditioners will summit the 18,491 foot peak of Orizaba. Located in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic belt, Orizaba is the third highest mountain in North America and is the second most prominent volcanic peak in the world after Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro.

Building on the success of past expeditions, the True Patriot Love Expedition: Orizaba will bring together a team of currently serving members and Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces with business and community leaders to take on a unique physical challenge together. Working as a team to complete this mission, participants will face physical, emotional and mental roadblocks throughout the journey. In doing so, the expedition team will raise critical funds and awareness for issues that Veterans and military members across Canada face, and will play a critical role in the transition of the expedition soldier team members to civilian life.

“I have learned more from our Veterans on these expeditions about bravery, patriotism, service and commitment to leaving no one behind than from any activity I have ever undertaken. Our Vets are truly inspirational.”

CPL. DAVID McDONALD

Royal Canadian Regiment Infantry Officer Years Served: 4 Himalayas Expedition, 2012

“ Everyday is a challenge, but you have to accept that challenge and get over it. My war with the Taliban ended that day in March, but my war with my injuries just began and it’s a war I continue to fight.”

BRUNO GUEVREMONT

Fleet Diving Unit (P) Leading Seaman Years Served: 14 North Pole Expedition, 2014

“ True Patriot Love has opened the doors of opportunity for me. When I was first asked to go on the North Pole Expedition (in 2014), I was uncertain of what to expect and where I was on my road to recovery. The expedition, the struggles and the austere environment provided the right tools to help me deal with some of my toughest issues. Coupled with the unending care and willingness to help from every single business leader, it made this stage of my journey a complete success.”

SGT. ANOUK BEAUVAIS

Canadian Forces Reserve Combat Engineer and PSYOPS Analyst Years Served: 9 Antarctica Expedition, 2016

“ My TPL expedition journey was a real life changing experience. All of the positives events that have happened in my life in the past year are as a result of the incredible people I met while climbing the highest mountain in Antarctica.”
