When considering a synthetic slate or shake roof tile system, it is important to look at the whole picture.

The most important aspect of the roof is that it effectively protects the home or building from the elements.
Warriors are made on the battlefield and on pediatric cancer wards. Our battle-wounded veterans and their families share a special bond with families whose children are battling the enemy of cancer. All need a place to come and just be. A sanctuary. A place to which they can look forward and return again and again.
That place is We Warriors. Set on the shores of Passamaquoddy Bay near St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada, We Warriors will provide respite time for these families from both sides of the border at no charge.
