Tim participated in a tour of duty in the Kandahar area of Afghanistan as a convoy escort troop, crew commander, acting station second-in-command, an RWS gunner, and a RG-31 driver. After he returned to Canada he eventually discovered the VTP, and was blown away by the change it made in his life.

It spurred him to complete a Masters of Counselling at UBC, during which time he spent thousands of volunteer hours creating the VTN to bring our program to every Canadian Veteran who needs it.

Adrienne began her career supporting Veterans after joining Veterans Affairs Canada as a Case Manager in 2002. She was attracted to working with Veterans as a member of a military family member herself, having been raised within the CAF community.

Adrienne held several roles with VAC including Veteran Services Team Manager, Standards Training and Evaluation Office and Project Manager before moving to British Columbia in 2008 and becoming Area Director for BC Mainland and Yukon Area until the spring of 2017. She then decided to leave the Government of Canada in 2017 to pursue private sector long term care operations which Adrienne loves – specifically dementia support. Since 2018, she has been the Executive Director at The Village Langley, Canada’s first village-style dementia support community. Adrienne led the pre-operational, planning and opening activities, and they’ve been in operation since Summer 2019.
