Montreal, 1909. Motivated by a powerful sense of patriotism, veteran Arthur H.D. Hair moved heaven and earth to ensure that an indigent soldier be buried with dignity. It was the launch of an incredible national organization that now boasts nine branches across the country.

In cooperation with Veterans Affairs Canada, the Last Post Fund ensures that no eligible veteran is deprived of a dignified funeral, burial and headstone for lack of financial resources.

The Last Post Fund owns and operates the National Field of Honour in Pointe-Claire, Qc which was designated as a National Historic Site in 2009 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
