A unique housing project in Surrey, B.C., to support veterans and first responders got a boost from the provincial government Wednesday. The province is putting forward funds to support 91 affordable housing units for veterans with disabilities in the Legion Veterans Village, as well as a rehab centre for veterans.
The Legion Veterans Village (LVV) project has reached yet another development milestone with the Province, through BC Housing, approving 91 affordable housing units for the mixed-use, multi-purpose project that will provide housing, healthcare and Legion facilities dedicated to serving the needs of Canadian veterans and first responders.
Capt. Trevor Greene inspired the $312-million complex because he needed so many different services for help, backers decided it was time to put all of them in one spot.
Using advanced brain-scanning technology known as Neurocatch, Greene’s team of doctors could show his brain rewiring through neuroplasticity. It was so successful they decided to to thing to the next level, introducing a robotic exoskeleton to help train his muscles how to walk again.
Greene’s progress is not only being observed by fellow veterans and the scientific community, but he’s also being credited as the inspiration behind Legion Veterans Village being built in Surrey, a first-of-its-kind in Canada.

Trevor Greene, who suffered a severe and debilitating brain injury from an axe attack on a Canadian Armed Forces’ peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan in 2006, continues to make “significant” improvement, thanks, he says, to a technology developed by a Surrey doctor.
Known as the iron soldier, Captain Trevor Greene was attacked with an axe to the head while serving in Afghanistan. As Ashley Burr explains, his unique rehabilitation has inspired the creation of a massive new centre to support veterans’ health in Surrey. (CityNews 1130 – TV segment)
