An overview of best practices for reporting on Veterans in a fair, balanced, and accurate way.

Ten military Veterans living with chronic pain from across Canada completed the second annual Military Veterans Alpine Challenge (Alpine Challenge) on Saturday, August 19, in Whistler, British Columbia. The Alpine Challenge is a seven-kilometre hike organized by the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans (CPCoE) with the goal of equipping Veterans with education and training to manage their chronic pain and to bring awareness to the issue.

Veterans of the Canadian Military have a need for health care services that address issues of Chronic Pain and Mental Health throughout the whole of Canada. Regrettably, access to these services can be limited and health care options vary from province to province.

The media can shape the opinions, beliefs, and attitudes of the public toward Veterans and Veteran issues and can also be a vital source of information for Veterans and their families.
