HIKE WITH US
IN MONTREAL
Join us for the most fun you'll have standing up this year!
A walk for veterans, by veterans.
VETERANS ON THE CANAL
Hiking has always been an important part of military culture. A fun hike with our fellow veterans reminds us of our shared sacrifices, comraderie and fun we used to have as warriors. We never lose that sense of brotherhood and we need it now more than ever. That is why The Hard To Kill Podcast is hosting this first event of its kind in Montreal.
Smoking & Joking
We lack as sense of fun and irreverence in our veteran events in Canada. This event is not a remembrance event; far from it. Smoking and joking, dancing and singing are the expectations.
Community Engagement
Learn more about local programs and services and connect with the broader veteran community and share your experiences.
