Home Away From Home
Home Away From Home

Honour House is a refuge, a “home away from home” for members of our Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans, Emergency Services Personnel and their families to stay, completely free of charge, while they are receiving medical care and treatment in the Metro Vancouver area.

These brave individuals, along with their families, sacrifice so much on a daily basis to protect our freedom and our everyday way of life. Honour House allows us the opportunity to show them that we care and how much we appreciate all that they do for us.

Two years ago we launched the Tour of Honour. Our hope was to reach every member of the military and first responder in the province. This work continues everyday. We still feel the positive effects of the tour everyday. We currently have guests staying at Honour House who came into contact through the tour. The three month adventure would not have been possible without the incredible contributions of sponsors and volunteers. We can't wait to hit the road again soon! Got a memory or story from the tour? Drop it in the comments! 👇 ... See MoreSee Less

"My mind kept returning to the image of Trevor lying on a hospital cot somewhere in Kandahar, dirty and bloody with tubes keeping him alive. Tears welled up in my eyes as I sung to Grace, 'Hush little baby, don't say a word, Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird.' What was in store for us for the future? Would she ever know her father?" - Trevor and Debbie Greene in their book - March Forth.On the 19th anniversary of an attack that would help set the course for Honour House Society, our thoughts are with the Greene family, today and everyday, and everything they have been through. A story of resilience and dedication, we are grateful for your service to this country, Trevor. www.harpercollins.ca/9781443405140/march-forth/ ... See MoreSee Less
