Mr. Dore is a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran. He has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 48 years, serving as a member of the executive as well as service officer for a number of branches. Mr. Dore frequently drives Veterans to and from appointments and also volunteers with the RCL’s Outreach and Visitation Initiative, visiting facilities to ensure that Veterans are receiving the appropriate level of care. After each visit, he forwards a summary of his findings to RCL Dominion Command and VAC, along with recommendations for a follow-up, if required. Mr. Dore is of Métis heritage, is a member of Aboriginal Veterans Autochtones and has assisted the First Nations organization in Rama, Ontario, researching its Veterans. He participates in its annual Veterans' Parade on November 11 and, for the past three years, has been Head Veteran at the Rama Chippewa First Nation’s annual Pow-Wow. Mr. Dore has also donated a P.O.W./M.I.A. flag and pole to the organization for its use in parades. In 2014, after attending Remembrance Day ceremonies at his local RCL branch, Mr. Dore organized a commemorative ceremony in the condominium building where he and many other Veterans reside. This was well received by several in attendance, including a 101-year-old Veteran, who would not have otherwise been able to attend a ceremony.
