Mr. Scott Martin is neither a serviceman nor a Veteran. Despite this fact, he has a keen interest in the Canadian Armed Forces and those who have served, and he makes regular and significant contributions to awareness and support of Veterans’ causes.
In 2014, Mr. Martin, along with a friend and a business partner, co-founded the Vancouver Military Dinner Society. The goal of this event is to raise awareness of Canadian Armed Forces’ and Veterans’ issues amongst the business community of Vancouver and raise money for various Veterans’ charities, including Wounded Warriors Canada.
Using his professional network, he maximizes participation for this event, which ensures increased donations for the cause. Additionally, he leverages his contacts to provide auction items, door prizes and other such benefits to enhance the evening. He stands as the committee’s primary conduit into Vancouver’s non-military citizenry. The great work done by the Society would simply not be possible without Mr. Martin.
