"Quilts of Valour"
Naomi and Mike have lived in the town of Aurora for the past 28 years. Mike is a former Police Officer with the city of Toronto having served for 35 years. Naomi is a retired teacher having worked for 30 years for the York Region District School Board. They have been married for 52 years. Naomi is an area Representative for Quilts of Valour and Mike is a presenter. Their first involvement with Quilts of Valour was in 2017 when Quilts of Valour spoke at a meeting at The Region of York Quilters Guild. Naomi then nominated Mike’s father who was a WWII veteran to receive one. It was such a moving experience, Naomi decided to get involved and joined the organization in late 2018 with Mike officially joining a short time later. They haven’t looked back! Since becoming an area Rep and presenter, they have presented over 237 Quilts to deserving veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces.
They are very proud of the Quilts of Valour national organization, which is run by volunteers dedicated to recognizing the service to Canada of veterans from every generation. They continue to strive to honour as many Veterans, past and present as possible.
