Our goal is to improve well-being, inspire recovery, strengthen families and foster community connection. The Foundation also acts as a catalyst for collaboration across stakeholders in the sector and provides thought leadership on all areas within its mission focus.In 2008, when Canadian soldiers were returning home from Afghanistan, and the impact of war was weighing heavily on them and their families, Canada’s Chief of Defence Staff challenged a group of Toronto-based philanthropists to raise money to support them. The following year, the inaugural Tribute Gala brought 2,000 Canadians together, raising $2 million in one evening. The event proved that Canadians are proud of our military, and are seeking ways, beyond wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day, to express their support. The True Patriot Love organization was born.&nbsp;Since 2009, True Patriot Love has distributed over $50 million to fund 1,100 programs that support mental health, physical rehabilitation, transition to life after service and the unique needs of children and families. The Foundation also actively helps to ensure the needs of those who serve remain in the minds of the public through high profile expeditions and events. As a result of the Foundation’s inspiring work, more than 44,000 military and Veteran families have been helped.&nbsp;Areas of Focus and ImpactThey’ve had our backs; now it is time we had theirs. Whether our military and Veterans are facing healthcare challenges, their&nbsp;families need support, or they are seeking to transition to civilian life, it is our responsibility to make sure their needs are met. By accepting that responsibility and giving generously, Canadians can find their own ways to serve. We are a stronger, more inclusive country when Canadians give back to those who have given everything.&nbsp;True Patriot Love supports:<ul><li>Mental Health &amp; Well-Being:&nbsp;Prioritizing&nbsp;well-being, by investing in mental health and transition programs amongst others.&nbsp;</li><li>Physical Health &amp; Rehabilitation: Improving the&nbsp;rehabilitation and recovery&nbsp;journey through the power of sport, expeditions, and alternative therapies.</li><li>Family Health &amp; Support: Supporting&nbsp;stronger military families, as spouses, caregivers, children, and youth are called upon to make profound sacrifices along with their loved ones.&nbsp;</li><li>Communities: Providing resources to organizations that foster&nbsp;connection with communities, whether it be through mentorship, volunteerism, or advocacy.</li></ul>Grants &amp; ProgramsWe are a catalyst for collaboration and impact.

True Patriot Love established the local organizing committee for Vancouver Whistler and led on delivering Legacy elements impacting the military and Veteran community up to and beyond February 2025. True Patriot Love is the largest funder of Team Canada, for both Invictus Games and the Warrior Games, as well as other community programs across Canada.The Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 were held from February 8-16, 2025, and brought together 534 competitors from 23 nations to compete in adaptive sports, including the new winter sports: Alpine Skiing, Nordic Skiing, Snowboarding, Biathlon, Skeleton, and Wheelchair Curling, in addition to the core Invictus Games sports of indoor rowing, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball.&nbsp;The Games were held on the traditional territories of the Lil̓wat7úl (Lil’wat), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. During the planning and implementation of the Games, True Patriot Love worked in the full spirit of implementing Canada’s Truth &amp; Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, and that Indigenous protocols were respected in all aspects of the Games.&nbsp;ExpeditionsSince 2012, True Patriot Love has produced a series of ambitious expeditions around the world engaging Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, and civilians, which raise funds and build awareness and long-term relationships.Past expeditions have collectively raised over $10 million for the military community and have directly impacted 66 ill and injured military personnel and Veterans. Funds raised have allowed for enhanced job training and recruitment, provided 144 Veterans with rapid job placement, helped to fund more than 9,800 hours of peer-to-peer mental health counselling, and allowed for a $500,000 investment to create a virtual reality therapy program for Veterans living with PTSD which has been implemented across the country.&nbsp;The Captain Nichola Goddard Women in LeadershipThe Captain Nichola Goddard Women in Leadership roundtable concluded its 2025&nbsp;four-city series, bringing over 450 people together for evenings of insight, inspiration and frank conversation about military leadership from a female perspective.&nbsp;Now in its seventh year, the Women in Leadership event is named in honour of Captain Nichola Goddard, the first Canadian female soldier to die in combat while on duty in Afghanistan in 2006. The series is held in support of&nbsp;<a href="https://truepatriotlove.com/granting-and-programs/captain-nichola-goddard-fund/" target="_blank">the Fund</a> which also bears her name.&nbsp; &nbsp;True Patriot Love Annual Tribute Dinner 2025: Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa&nbsp;From&nbsp;the moment a person enlists in the Canadian Armed Forces to the time they are released, their military service impacts every aspect of their life, including the lives of those closest to them—their family. Each year during Remembrance Week, the Foundation hosts its Annual&nbsp;Tribute Dinner, a signature fundraising event and Canada’s largest celebration in support of military members, Veterans, and their families. The event brings together influential business and community leaders, distinguished military representatives and dignitaries to pay tribute to the military and Veteran community.This year’s event, which was attended by the Duke of Sussex, raised more than $2 million to support our work.ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND &amp;

As both the premier conference facility in Whitehorse, and a cultural hub of the community, no two days are alike at the KDCC.In this role, you’ll act as caretaker of a gorgeous institution consisting of a long house, artist studios, gallery, classrooms, healing room and waterfront outdoor ceremonial space. Whether you’re building budgets, presenting to Chief and Council or pitching in at a special event, your underlying focus is always on how the space, and its staff, work to tell guests the story of the Kwanlin Dün people. Located on the banks of Chu Niikwän (the Yukon River), the KDCC is a locus&nbsp;point&nbsp;for&nbsp;reconciliation.&nbsp;Workingunder&nbsp;the&nbsp;strategicdirection&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Governance&nbsp;Council, that’s your guiding principle in this position.Reconciliation means different things to different people&nbsp;though. This building and its role in the community are equally dynamic, which is why you are too. You’re as comfortable implementing a strategic plan to lead the organization as you are networking at a Chamber of Commerce&nbsp;event or&nbsp;hosting&nbsp;cultural programming.&nbsp;You&nbsp;build&nbsp;strong&nbsp;relationships&nbsp;with&nbsp;your&nbsp;staff just as easily as you establish long-term partnerships with the Kwanlin Dün community&nbsp;and funding providers. You crunch numbers for breakfast, chat arts and culture for lunch, and draft policy for dinner, with a side of solid communication skills for dessert. You have as much experience&nbsp;with&nbsp;staff development&nbsp;as&nbsp;you&nbsp;have&nbsp;being&nbsp;governed&nbsp;by&nbsp;a&nbsp;non-profit&nbsp;board.&nbsp;You’re as open to learning from the community as you are to mentoring those around you, to ensure the financial and future sustainability of the KDCC. Your vision is clear, but you’re flexible and able to adapt. You give and receive feedback with grace. Like us, you’re inspired and motivated by the stories of this community, this land and these people. You have an understanding of our past, a familiarity with our present, and a deep desire to help us write the future.Additional&nbsp;qualifications<ul><li>Administrative management and leadership experience,&nbsp;preferably&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;First&nbsp;Nations environment.</li><li>Proven&nbsp;track&nbsp;record&nbsp;of&nbsp;successfully&nbsp;leading and&nbsp;managing&nbsp;complex, multi-faceted projects and operations.</li><li>Post-secondary&nbsp;degree combined&nbsp;with&nbsp;experience&nbsp;in&nbsp;arts,&nbsp;tourism, hospitality&nbsp;or&nbsp;similar environments preferred.</li><li>Significant&nbsp;experience&nbsp;and&nbsp;proven&nbsp;track&nbsp;record&nbsp;in&nbsp;budget planning and people management.</li><li>A commitment to knowing, learning and respectfully integrating Kwanlin Dün First Nation history and culture in operations, while fostering an inclusive workplace that respects differing cultures and world views.</li></ul>A&nbsp;cover letter&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;resume can&nbsp;be&nbsp;submitted&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:edirector@kdcc.ca." target="_blank">edirector@kdcc.ca.</a>&nbsp;Please include&nbsp;Executive Director, Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre in the subject line.We&nbsp;thank&nbsp;all&nbsp;those&nbsp;who&nbsp;apply, only&nbsp;those&nbsp;selected for&nbsp;further&nbsp;consideration&nbsp;will&nbsp;be contacted.
