Brewing Connections: My Coffee Date with Quilts of Valour

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting with my local Quilts of Valour representative, Amy, at the veteran-owned Ottawa Valley Coffee ☕️✨. I treated myself to a delicious Petawawa Fog — highly recommend!

The warmth of our conversation truly highlighted the sense of community that Quilts of Valour Canada (QOVC) fosters ❤️. I left feeling inspired, connected, and even more committed to this incredible mission.

Receiving a Quilt of Valour is so much more than just a quilt — it's a heartfelt ceremony,

where a veteran is surrounded by their circle of support — friends, family, and fellow service members. Whether it's a quiet moment or a larger community event, each presentation is a sincere expression of gratitude from Canadians 🇨🇦 — and is always personalized to the veteran’s wishes.
