Two weeks ago, HMCS Vancouver’s Commanding Officer, Commander Clive Butler and  the ship’s crew hosted the President of the Honour House Society, Honorary LCol Allen De Genova on board the ship.
Joining him was Melissa De Genova, her husband Constable Blair Da Costa, Fire Chief Tim Armstrong, and former Royal Canadian Navy Commander, Fraser Work.

The group were journeying around the province to bring awareness to the men and women in uniform of their organization, and to promote an upcoming PTSD care program the society is helping to put into place this year.

Honour House is known as “a home away from home” for all members of the emergency services, military personnel (serving and retired), and their families when they are injured or ill, and need a place to stay and recover in Vancouver.

More information on the Honour House can be found at www.honourhouse.ca. Follow them online on their Facebook site www.facebook.com/honourhouse, as they visit 38 different communities across B.C. as part of the Honour Tour.
