Aurora Veterans Program and Active Military Discount for Medical Cannabis
We’re honoured to support Canadian veterans and those still actively serving. If you’re a veteran, you may be eligible for financial support for your medical cannabis through Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). VAC provides reimbursements via Blue Cross to veterans across Canada towards both dried cannabis and its equivalent in cannabis oil form, up to 3 grams per day (or 90 grams per 30-day period) and up to $8.50 per gram.
At Aurora, we offer support beyond your VAC coverage
