About Us

Our Identity & Heritage

Blackstone Association supports Canada’s Tier 1 Special Operations Warriors and their families.

Established in 2015, Blackstone Association is a dedicated assembly of Veteran Warriors from Canada’s Tier 1 Special Operations Forces.

Our name, Blackstone, carries a dual significance: it is derived from our "Black Ops" roots and serves as a tribute to the black stone memorial that honors our Fallen Warriors.

We are more than an Association, we are a community. Like the Blackstone Tartan that represents us, we are unified by shared history and an unwavering commitment to one another.

Our Values are our guiding principles

A Warrior’s Path is one of discipline, resilience, and purpose—not just for themselves, but for their families and community. They face challenges with courage, knowing struggle is a teacher, and stand strong in the face of fear, for surrender is not an option. Guided by honour and integrity, they fight both external battles and the inner war against doubt and weakness. True strength lies in wisdom, patience, and the unwavering commitment to protect and uplift those they love. A warrior is a person who understands the right path to take and has the courage to take it.

Anonymous Blackstone Warrior

At Blackstone Association, the ‘Warrior’s Path’ is more than just a philosophy—it is the foundation ofour values, actions, and unwavering commitment to those we serve.

This foundation guides our six core values:

Honour

Honour reflects our loyalty to those who have served. We recognize their unique challenges and commit to supporting them with dignity, respect, and care— past, present, and future.

Integrity

Integrity is the foundation of trust in Canada’s Tier 1 Special Operations Warriors community. It means acting with honesty, accountability, and consistency in everything we do.

Courage

Courage is the strength to face challenges with resolve. It empowers our Warriors—and our organization—to act with purpose, even in uncertainty or adversity.

Resilience

Resilience is the capacity to adapt, recover, and grow stronger through hardship. It reflects our commitment to enduring support and long-term well- being for those we serve.

Selflessness

Selflessness is the willingness to put others before oneself in service of the greater good. It strengthens our community by fostering mutual support and shared purpose.

Compassion

Compassion is the act of showing care, understanding, and empathy. It creates connection and belonging, helping our members navigate transition and continue their mission beyond service.

Bridging the Critical Gap

Blackstone Association is independent and complementary to existing military and civilian support organizations. We recognize that life rarely fits into rigid policies; therefore, we move with agility and flexibility.

Our primary purpose is to bridge the gap before long-term systems take effect, providing immediate assistance in the moments that matter most. We ensure no one is left behind through:
