The closing of the Anniversary in May of the year was highlighted with the Return to Europe and Frezenberg Commemoration. The Youth Education Program was a great success and serves as a model of cooperation between the Regiment, the Association and the Foundation in providing a unique experience for the youth who attended. We are grateful for and offer our thanks to Heritage Canada, PPCLI Cadet Corps and individual donors for their generous funding support.

Values
The PPCLI Foundation operates from two strongly-held beliefs:
- As Canadians, we owe a great and ongoing obligation to the families of the fallen and to those wounded in the service of Canada; those who often endure the scars of battle long after they have left the field.
- An understanding of Canada's history and heritage is a key component of our future as individual Canadians and as a nation.
