“JDS Energy & Mining is enthusiastic to support Canada’s military and their families in honoring the incredible sacrifices they make for Canada. With the tragic news of fallen soldiers Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, I was compelled to bring awareness to the level of service and dedication our Canadian Armed Forces make to preserve our freedoms and way of life in this great nation.  I am excited to connect not only the contributions of JDS, but also a few of my leadership friends of the Mining Industry in support of such a great cause.”  Jeff Stibbard, C.E.O., JDS Energy & Mining, Inc.

“This is a great example of the business community, in this case the mining and energy sector, coming together under the leadership of one company, JDS Energy & Mining, to support our Canadian military and their families. It’s through support like this that True Patriot Love is able to reach out and serve those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Working with JDS, a great Canadian company, has helped us raise awareness about the needs of the military community and their families.”  Michael Burns, Vice-Chair, True Patriot Love Foundation
