On 18 August, Camp Aftermath was invited to attend the annual Bradley Estates Family Fun Day Event.
It was a truly amazing experience as we met dozens of veterans and first responders from across the city who were eager to learn about our unique approach of using volunteerism as a tool for long-term management of PTSD.
We also met Ottawa Mayor, Jim Watson, M.P. for Orléans, Andrew Leslie, M.P.P for Orléans, Marie-France Lalonde amongst many other supporters of Camp Aftermath.

A special thanks to Yasmin Fathers from the Bradley Estates Community Association who invited Camp Aftermath to their Family Fun Day and donated $150 to our cause.
We are also incredibly grateful to the 501st Legion who showed up with their amazing Star Wars costumes. They raised over $400 for Camp Aftermath by donating all donations gained from all those in attendance who wanted to take pictures with them.
