Since 2009, Quilts of Valour – Canada Society (QOVC) has presented quilts over 24,000 ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members in recognition of their service and commitment to our country. Volunteer quilters from across the nation sew beautiful, intricate quilts, paying tribute to past and present CAF members. Quilts presented by QOVC are “a hug from a grateful nation”, an intimate gesture to pay tribute to the sacrifice ill and injured CAF members have made in service to Canada.
On Saturday November 9th the National Air Force Museum of Canada invites you to learn more about QOVC and their incredible work at this year’s Quilts of Valour “Sewcase”. Local and regional volunteers will be on site sewing, promoting, and presenting their quilts from 10am to 3pm.
Learn how you can nominate yourself or a loved one to receive a quilt, or inquire about how you can contribute to their incredible work and help bring comfort to our serving members.
