Hero’s Ridge by Lépine Apartments - Nominate a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran

Lépine Apartments pays homage to the brave men and women who serve our country through our longstanding partnership with the Ottawa Senators. Together we’ve created and maintained Hero's Ridge since 2015. At each home game, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran and their family enjoy time together in the Hero's Ridge box suite at the Canadian Tire Centre. The crowd rises from their seats every night to honour the more than 350 veterans who have been our guests in Hero's Ridge.
