Canadian Veterans Advocacy History

My Name is Michael L Blais CD. I am a retired veteran of The Royal Canadian Regiment and served briefly with the Canadian Forces Dental Services. I was medically released in 1992 after a second lower back operation while posted to CFB Baden Soellingen. On August 17th, 2010, I would become a reluctant veterans advocate after watching Colonel Pat Stogran, Canada’s first Veterans Ombudsman, televised interview. Through this advocacy, the Canadian Veterans National Day of Protest, a successful Canada-wide event, was conducted at 11 AM local, 6 November, 2010. Across the nation, thousands of veterans, many times small groups of ten to forty in strength, gathered at their parliamentarians riding offices to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and our retired veterans about the inadequacies of the New Veterans Charter.

The Canadian Veterans Advocacy was born of this successful protest. I would encourage you to join us as veterans standing up for veterans, united under one cause, our fundamental duty to those to whom we have passed the torch.

God Bless our troops, our veterans and their families.

God Bless Canada
