Lieutenant-Colonel Grenier was the driving force behind the development and implementation of the Operational Stress Injury Social Support Program. This program has had a remarkable effect on the lives of Canadian Forces members and veterans, as well as on their families. Since its inception in 2001, the program’s Peer Support Network has assisted more than 1 500 people in reintegrating into the workforce and society. Lieutenant-Colonel Grenier’s initiative has not only provided support service, it has also helped to eradicate many of the barriers to compassionate and humane treatment of those suffering from occupational stress injuries. Lieutenant-Colonel Grenier’s endeavour has brought him great personal pride and has been of great benefit to the Canadian Forces and to Canada.
