London Public Library calls on community to spread love with Valentines for Vets
“It’s actually a North American movement that was started by Ann Landers in the late ‘80s,” explained Ellen Hobin, manager of marketing and communications with the London Public Library. “Then Veteran Affairs Canada took this on, I think in the late ‘90s, and they’ve been coordinating it across Canada.”
Though Landers, a newspaper columnist, passed away in 2002, Veteran’s Affairs said that it remains “committed to continuing her project of thanking Veterans.” Every year, the foundation invites Canadian schools, individuals and organizations to make Valentines for Vets, which are then distributed to Veterans in long-term care facilities across the country by Feb. 14.Story continues below advertisement❤️ Thank you for the beautiful valentines you've been creating for Canadian Veterans! Drop in to library branches before end of day Saturday to make valentines with supplies we provide.
