For many years, Mrs. Helen Vari has generously contributed to the promotion of the valour and commitment that define Canadian Veterans. She speaks highly of the courage of the service of the women and men who gave freely of themselves during the First and Second World Wars, two monumental events in the history of the 20th century.
For over 20 years, Mrs. Vari has attended the various Canadian commemorative ceremonies that pay tribute to the contributions of Canadian Veterans.
Mrs. Vari has been a generous financial contributor for renovations to the Hôtel national des Invalides, a prestigious museum dedicated to France’s military heroes. She is also a primary financial contributor through the Vimy Foundation to the construction of the new Visitor Education Centre at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France.
Her commitment to and admiration of Veterans are generous and sincere.
