Petition to the Government of Canada
- Under current legislation, Sunnybrook Veterans Centre will cease to exist as a veteran's facility after the last WW2 and Korean veterans pass away. There is a great need to maintain Sunnybrook as a Centre of Excellence for our "New Veterans", those who have bravely served Canada since the Korean War;
- Mental health issues are very prevalent, both with military personnel and first responders, and research and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and other accompanying issues is critically needed; and
- The existing Veterans Centre at Sunnybrook should be transformed into such a Centre of Excellence to treat these disorders and meet the physical and mental health needs of our "New Veterans", members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and First Responders.
