2026 Italian Battlefield Remembrance Tour (Contribution)

Mission Support Contribution

A Journey of Remembrance. A Commitment to Legacy.

This November 2026, Valour Canada invites you to walk in the footsteps of Canadians who served in Italy during the Second World War. Together, we will honour their sacrifice, deepen our understanding of history, and ensure that remembrance continues for future generations.

This tour is more than a historical experience — it is an act of legacy.

As part of participating in the Italian Battlefield Remembrance Tour, each traveller makes a Mission Support Contribution to Valour Canada. These charitable contributions directly fund Valour’s national youth education programs, ensuring that the stories of courage and sacrifice are carried forward to classrooms and communities across Canada.

Participants are asked to select one of the following contribution levels:

$500 – Supporter of Remembrance (minimum requested contribution)
$1,000 – Patron of Remembrance
$1,500 – Leadership Circle
Other amount – Your chosen contribution
