Northern Ontario has a rich tradition of hard work, resilience, and community support. Helmets to Hardhats understands the value of skilled labour, and we take pride in supporting the people who build our nation. Now, you can give back to those who have already given so much—our Veterans.
Helmets to Hardhats Canada (H2H) is a national nonprofit that connects Veterans, Reservists, Cadets, and military family members with rewarding second careers in the skilled trades. By providing career transition support, safety training, and apprenticeship pathways, H2H ensures that those who served our country can continue to contribute meaningfully to our workforce.
For Northern Ontario, this initiative is particularly important. With ongoing infrastructure projects, natural resource development, and a need for skilled labour in industries like mining and construction, your region is uniquely positioned to benefit from the experience and dedication of military-trained personnel. Northern Ontario is also directly connected to the military community, with Canadian Armed Forces bases and Reserves playing a crucial role in your region. By supporting H2H, we can ensure that these highly skilled individuals find meaningful second careers while helping to fill critical labour shortages in our industry.
As a nonprofit, H2H relies on the support of businesses and organizations to continue offering these life-changing services. That’s why we are calling on Northern Ontario’s business leaders to step up and invest in this critical program. A contribution to Helmets to Hardhats is not just a donation but an investment in our workforce, economy, and community. Your support ensures that transitioning military members receive the guidance and training they need to succeed while helping employers fill critical labour gaps with highly skilled professionals.
As we look toward the future of Northern Ontario’s economy, let’s ensure we do our part to support those who have already sacrificed so much. Our Veterans have stood up for us—now it’s our turn to stand up for them.

Let’s work together to build a stronger Northern Ontario—one Veteran at a time.
