What is the No Stone Left Alone program?
No Stone Left Alone (NSLA) provides resources and support to guide educators, students and community members for holding their own commemorative events at a cemetery in their community - expressing respect and gratitude for our fallen military veterans, while honouring living veterans, serving members and their families.

It’s only through our community of supporters that this work is made possible.
Whether you are a dedicated volunteer or a caring financial donor, your continued support allows us to honour Canada’s veterans with personal acts of remembrance and gratitude.
Thank you for being the heart of our mission!
WATCH
Educator Lauren Hawes shares her family connection to service, and the moving and unique impact that participating in No Stone Left Alone commemorations has on her students.
“Until you sit with somebody who has dedicated their entire adult life to peace, and every time they left home kissed their family goodbye with the full understanding they might not come back, it changes the way you think about it. And there’s thousands of Canadian mothers that did that. Thousands. And in the world around. It happens all the time.
So if in this tiny way, we can participate and lay a poppy to acknowledge the sacrifice? It’s a no brainer. This is a no brainer. We’ll say their names out loud and honour them, forever.”
Lauren Hawes, NSLA Educator
The need remains great, as we continue our work to honour every Canadian veteran. Please give to help us ensure that all Canadian students have the opportunity to participate.
"It is always important to honour our veterans, some fallen never to return home, because they are the reason that we live our lives the way we do."
