Honest Truth Support Services

Something big is starting in Strathroy—and we want you to be part of it. 💙

More ways to get active. More opportunities to connect. More support for those who served.

On November 11, The Casual Athlete’s new virtual program launches in honour of Remembrance Day and our local veterans. With our partners at Avail Medical, we’re helping our Royal Canadian Legions bring fitness and community together—in person and online.

Here’s where it begins:

📽️ New technology. New possibilities.
Strathroy’s Sir Arthur Currie Branch 116 will receive a laptop, projector, and large screen to bring virtual programming into the Legion. Every Legion branch that joins the initiative will receive the same technology package.

💪 Equipment people can take home.
Each participating branch will also receive Battle Boxes—compact home gym kits that members can borrow to help them get started, build strength, or support rehabilitation.

Eligible, approved veterans can receive their own Battle Box to keep at no cost to them. Depending on eligibility and approval, support can also extend to larger equipment, including quality rowing machines.

🥋 First up: PEACEKEEPERS.
Join veteran and instructor Andrew Kennedy for weekly virtual Kung Fu classes exploring the movement, focus, and traditions of Lohan Palm and Xin Yi.

Recorded sessions and short instructional videos will also be available so participants can practise wherever they are.

🏋️ Coming in January: RALLY POINT, in person and online.
Our resistance training program will broadcast live each week, connecting participating Legions and people joining from home. You can also attend in person at Strathroy Branch 116.

Each class will combine practical exercise with useful education, with options for different abilities and starting points. That’s the TCA approach: helping you find your way into fitness.

This starts locally, with a vision to connect Legion communities across the country.

We’re proud to take this next step alongside Avail Medical, Branch 116, and the people helping make it happen.

And we’re only getting started.

Please share this post to help us reach veterans, their families, and Legion branches that could benefit. Follow The Casual Athlete for launch details and what’s coming next.

Fitness for the Rest of Us. Support for those who served us.

Because we love Hold Your Horses so much and don't want a waitlist for the next session to be a factor, we have decided to open the group so you can join anytime!

We'll run the group until it gets too cold for people to want to come out. We don't mind the cold and snow, but we understand it may not be for everyone, and that is OK! Plus, we always have the campfire going!! 🔥 Men and Women 20+ (We also run a teen group)

Payment options are:
- Pay as you go - $60 (some conditions apply for group cohesion)
- 3-session pass - $180
- 6-session pass - $360

Sessions may be covered under extended health benefits (please check with your provider for confirmation under counselling or social work)

If accessibility is difficult, please don't hesitate to ask about our sliding scale!

This is such an important video to watch. I wish this information was available decades ago. I would have lived life with so much less shame.

I am glad people can learn the truth about chronic and complex trauma now. Its not a mental illness, it is a brain injury that was caused by other people and unsafe situations.

I am proof that recovery is possible. It may not look pretty some days and takes a heck of a lot of self disclosure to make sure you feel safe in relationships and situations, but it is worth it!!

This song is really cool! To me, it seems like a song written about witnessing someone experiencing a trauma flashback.

I like to bring light to those wounded parts , shadow self, inner child or whatever term feels appropriate. They need to be witnessed in safe places with safe people.

If you currently look like yourself, but your somebody else only it ain't on the surface - maybe bringing it to the surface in safe spaces with safe people will help you like it did for me!

I used to think community was overrated. It's not. Of course it will look different for everyone. My community even involves horses!

If you want to become part of a supportive community, please join us on Oct 3rd from 10:30am -12pm in our safe space, with other safe people, AND HORSES!

It's a 6 week program where we will share stories and knowledge while benefiting from being out in nature with the most snuggly horses! (Grounded experience, no riding)
