Revera Inc.

Revera Inc. is proud to be working
together with The Royal Canadian Legion

As a leader in senior living for more than 55 years, Revera is proud to be part of The Royal Canadian Legion’s Member Benefits Package. Every day, we have the honour of being part of the lives of veterans and other seniors who have chosen to call a Revera community home. Whether it is in a retirement residence or long-term care home, we help people live their lives to the fullest.

Celebrating veterans is a true highlight of our calendars in November, as all of our communities host or participate in Remembrance Day commemoration events. This year will be especially meaningful, as it is our first as an official partner in The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign. Additionally, Revera communities will be conducting fundraisers to support the important work of The Royal Canadian Legion.

For the first time ever, Revera is offering an exclusive benefit to Legion members, family members and friends of 10 per cent off the suite rate at any of our retirement communities across Canada.

Poppy Puzzle

During these cold winter months, gather family and friends around to assemble this unique jigsaw puzzle commemorating the men and women who served and sacrificed for all we have today. Poppies flourished on the battlefields of the First World War—their vivid colour reminded soldiers of the blood lost on that very ground—and inspired Canadian John McCrae to write his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields.”

Military tightens its cyber defences

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

The Canadian military is looking to boost its abilities to defend against the growing threat of cyberattack. The new programs aim to fight different activities than the kind of disinformation campaign Canadian troops currently face in Latvia, for example, where Russian-based groups, acting on instructions from Moscow, have been spreading false information, largely via fake news websites, automated Twitter accounts and such.

Interviews – Second World War Aircrew Veterans Needed

If anyone knows of any RCAF veterans of World War II, please reach out to Bob Barrett.


This is a message from Mr. Bob Barrett. I am a director, my recent film series was A Nation Soars, a trilogy of 1 hr films celebrating Canadian Pilots of the First World War. I worked with a great cast of RCAF alumni, and the experience was powerful. I would now like to feature the RCAF in a film of its own. This documentary would cover the history and role of the RCAF in Canadian culture. Mapping our country, flying commercial aircraft, leading in our communities, these are the contributions I wish to document. To this end, I’m trying to collect first-hand stories of Canadian Aviators, beginning with those who served during the Second World War. Can you help us find some of these veterans? Sincerely, Robert Barrett, 416 518 3238 or write to bobbarrett@rogers.com

P.S. The RCAF Association supports Mr. Barrett and his project to document the experiences and contributions of Canadian air force veterans during the Second World War. If you know of any such veterans or family members in your community, please write or call Mr. Barrett.
