You've touched on what is an extremely important aspect of transition.
In a Canadian Pain Society meeting last week, Hélène Le Scelleur, other veterans and I talked about resilience and transition. One of the things we've found out is that the similarity between professional athletes and veterans is incredibly unique. They are all “mission first”, and then their career ends. When it ends, the applause stops and they're left on their own.
We've been working on trying to increase awareness of the role of the Canadian Armed Forces veterans. I believe if we can somehow change the gestalt of the Canadian public to understand that whenever there's a crisis in this country—whether it's the ice storms in Quebec, the hurricanes on the east coast, the fires currently in Alberta, or COVID—the Canadian military members are the first ones who run in, and we need to respect their service. However, at some point in time, their careers are over, just like the athlete's career is over, so we're looking at creating an ability to be able to create resilience in both of these groups so that they can learn from each other.
Over the next few years, I think awareness will increase for the Canadian population. We'd like to get into the schools to make sure that people understand that they live in an incredibly amazing country due in part to the service, and we want to respect that.
