The Honour House Society made a pit stop at the on April 22, as part of its Tour of Honour.  

The Legion Squamish presented the society with a cheque for $5,000.

The Tour of Honour aims to raise awareness of injuries and illnesses suffered by those who have served in the armed forces, emergency services, search and rescue, and several other groups that keep everyday citizens safe. The tour is also raising funds along the way.

“Funds raised during the tour will be used to support our charity’s two locations, Honour House and Honour Ranch,” reads the website about the tour.

Tim Armstrong, who said he spent 40 years in the fire service, rolled into Squamish from Pemberton with a camouflage Humvee and trailer. 

He spoke with people at the Legion about the journey so far plus the benefits of both Honour House and Honour Ranch.

Honour House provides a free-of-charge stay in New Westminster for members who served or their families if they are in need of medical services in the Metro Vancouver area.

Meanwhile, Honour Ranch is located near Ashcroft and is a place for those who have served to access mental health programming such as equine therapy, music, meditative practices and movements.

After a short explanation from Armstrong, the president of Squamish Legion, Russ Robertson, presented him with the local donation to the society.

The Honour programs rely on donations and fundraising to meet the operational costs and allow those eligible to access them at no charge.

The tour started in early April in the Chilliwack area and made its way through parts of the Interior before arriving in the Sea to Sky Corridor. After the stop in Squamish, they will go to Vancouver Island before heading to northern 小蓝视频 and Yukon —  finishing their journey in early June back in the Lower Mainland.
