DROPPING IN with Mercedes Nicoll

Series VIII: Soldier On Stories Episodes

This series I will be DROPPING IN with Soldier On athletes. If you’re wondering what Soldier on is.
It’s a program of the Canadian Armed Forces which contributes to the recovery of ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members and veterans by providing opportunities and resources through sport, recreational, and creative activities.
I can’t wait to DROP IN with these soldiers as they share their stories with us.
