Wreaths Across Canada

11/18/2025

The Wreaths Across Canada Board is sad to share that, due to some unexpected life events, we will not be able to host the 2025 wreath event.

Serving our Veteran community is deeply important to our Board, which makes this decision even more difficult. We never step back lightly—especially when it involves an event meant to honour and support those who have served.

Hope you can understand and thank you for your compassion; patience, and unwavering commitment to our Veterans.

We plan to meet in January to set up for a successful ceremony/celebration in December 2026.

On behalf of the Wreaths Across Canada Board, we wish All a safe and happy holiday season!!!

🌟 Thank You, Amazing Volunteers! 🌟
A huge thank you to each and every one of you who showed up and helped collect all the bows and wreaths during our recent clean-up event. Your dedication and hard work made it possible to accomplish this task in record time—just 1.5 hours! 🙌 We are incredibly grateful for your support and commitment.

We were fortunate to have relatively mild temperatures compared to the frigid conditions today, which made the process smoother and more efficient. Your willingness to brave the elements and give your time and energy is truly inspiring.

If you are looking for some wreaths to decorate, or farming, please visit Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services and help yourself

2025 is already shaping up to be an incredible year, and it is all because of amazing volunteers like you. Your contributions ensure that we can continue to honour and remember our veterans in the most respectful manner.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for making a difference. We couldn't do it without you! ❤️

Merry Christmas from Wreaths Across Canada!

As we gather with loved ones and celebrate the joy of the holiday season, let us also take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who have served our nation. Their sacrifices have ensured our freedom and security, and it is our duty to ensure their memories and legacies are cherished.

This Christmas, as the snow dances and drifts against the gravestones of our courageous soldiers, Wreaths Across Canada’s gift of simple balsam wreaths will remind every person who passes by that peace on earth is a precious gift, made possible by their service. We also celebrate and remember the families who stand behind these heroes, whose support and sacrifices are an integral part of their legacy.

May your holiday season be filled with love, joy, and peace. And may we all continue to honor and remember those who have given so much for our country, keeping their legacy and the love of their families alive in our hearts.

Warmest wishes,
The Wreaths Across Canada Team
