Saskatchewan Wounded Warriors Weekend helps war veterans heal
August 4, 2013
War veterans from Canada, the U.S., Britain and Australia have gathered for a special weekend retreat – Saskatchewan style.
Nearly 200 soldiers from the four countries are in Nipawin for the second annual Wounded Warriors Weekend.
The soldiers spent time fishing on Tobin Lake and golfing, but above of all, building relationships.
Fishing was among the activities war veterans participated in during the Wounded Warriors Weekend in Nipawin, Sask.
The event aims to provide support and help with rehabilitation from the effects of war.
It also opens up conversation about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – something many of the attendees silently suffer from.
