After three decades of service in policing which finished with the RCMP , I found myself facing a new battle—chronic pain that grew over time. Managing this journey hasn’t been easy, but support from the DeGroote Pain Clinic and Veterans Affairs has made a difference, giving me tools and hope. To my fellow veterans: don’t wait to seek help. Chronic pain impacts everything in your life, and early intervention is crucial. Together, through research and shared stories, we can build a future with better options and understanding for veterans facing chronic pain.

The Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans (CPCoE) is pleased to announce the appointment of Cam Kowalski as its new Director of Operations.
