We are registered with the Alberta Corporate Registries as well as the Alberta Gaming Liquor Commission as a non-profit organization. Fundraising allows us to support not only Veterans and Cadets but other organizations such as the Strathcona Food Bank, Strathcona Christmas Bureau, ANAVET Food Bank, Stars Air Ambulance and a number of seniors homes.
The ANAVETS have supported seniors homes with a number of different types of aid including patient lifting devices valued at thousands of dollars, gazebo and shading, and special furniture.
The ANAVETS have played a lead role in the Remembrance Day Ceremonies in Sherwood Park which gathered up to 3000 people in attendance. We participate in the ceremonies at schools and seniors homes for Remembrance Day. We also assisted in the Poppy Campaign.
Come out and join a group of friendly and like minded people in support of our veterans and the local community.
