The Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation was formed to Honour, Remember and Support Canada's fallen firefighters and their families.

After the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attacks, New York City's Emerald Society Bagpipe Band of firefighter-musicians took out their instruments and prepared to bury their dead--343 brothers in duty and in blood. Many firefighters alternated between playing their instruments at funerals and digging for the missing in the rubble of Ground Zero. The Irish American tradition of funeral bagpiping became the sound of mourning for an entire nation.

The Rucksack March for Remembrance was established to bring people from the community together with one mission in mind. This is, to raise awareness and funding for the many Canadian Armed Forces and First Responder families who are in the midst of their own Operational Stress Injuries.
