When a business displays the “Trusted by Heroes” badge, it's more than just a graphic. It’s a commitment. It means that business has earned the trust of those who’ve served—Canada’s veterans, first responders, and military families. And in today’s world, trust is everything.
For those who’ve worn the uniform, trust isn’t given—it’s earned. Veterans and frontline workers rely on strong values: loyalty, integrity, and accountability. The badge signals that a business respects those values and has gone above and beyond to serve those who’ve served us. Whether it’s by offering meaningful discounts, creating inclusive spaces, or actively supporting mental health initiatives, these businesses stand out.
At Support Our Heroes, we created the badge to help veterans and their families quickly recognize allies in the business community—places where they’ll be understood, respected, and valued. It also tells the public: this isn’t just another listing. This business is mission-aligned. They’re part of something bigger than profit—they’re part of a movement.
So when you see the “Trusted by Heroes” badge, know that it represents more than a sale. It stands for service, community, and the ongoing mission to build a better future together. Support them, and you support the whole community.
