Veterans, Comox Valley community leaders, and businesses came together for VinoSpa Speaks Out: A Veteran’s Perspective at 40 Knots Winery
yesterday. The sold out audience heard stories and learned of the challenges faced by families and veterans as they transition back to civilian life
Sergeant Major Tim Turner provided an emotional first hand account of his military experiences and “civilian translator’ Karen Turner shared her intense and sometimes funny life with her ’soldier husband’. Comox Valley RCMP Cpl. Tori Cliffe and Sergeant Mike Rude of The Rude Awakening Tour joined our panel to provide a broader perspective
It was a very impactful, emotional day with a little dash of humour. Funds raised were donated to the Operation Pegasus Foundation, and tandem parachute jumps were donated and auctioned
That’s it for VinoSpa Speaks Out 2023. Speakers and charities for the 2024 series are being finalized! We will share those plans shortly so you can schedule those dates in your calendar
