While we had the Commissionaires Centennial Baton & Flag for the cross-Canada tour, we visited many clients and commissionaires. As a symbol of comradery and tradition, the baton was passed throughout Southern Alberta – from Calgary to Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and CFB Suffield. These wonderful engagements will be a mark in the Commissionaires’ history as Canada’s largest private sector employer of veterans. Last week, we were honoured to meet with Calgary Mayor, Jyoti Gondek, who we learned has family connections to the military! We appreciate the opportunity to celebrate the upcoming 100-year anniversary of the Corps of Commissionaires across Canada with Mayor Gondek and some of our veteran commissionaires.

In commemoration of Remembrance Day, two of our longstanding veteran's John Markwart, CD, and Leslie Bowden, CD, attended a ceremony in Vulcan, Alberta. They laid a wreath on behalf of Commissionaires during the ceremony, and were honoured to represent our division in support of the veterans who made profound sacrifices for Canada during times of conflict and war. At Commissionaires Southern Alberta, we take time to reflect on and remember our veterans — not just today, but every day. We remain committed to supporting veterans and their families, both within our communities and across the country. #RemembranceDay2024 #VeteransWeek #Commissionaires

We honour the service and sacrifices of our country's Indigenous Veterans today, as we commemorate #IndigenousVeteransDay.
On #IndigenousVeteransDay, we honour the courage and dedication of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans who have bravely served Canada in times of war and peace. Their sacrifices have paved the way for the peaceful lives we enjoy today, often in the face of great adversity and personal loss. As we reflect on their contributions, we recognize their impact on our communities and Canada. Their stories of resilience and strength testify to the importance of understanding and respecting Indigenous histories and cultures. #Canada #Veterans #Indigenous #Commissionaires // Dans le cadre de la #Journéedesvétéransautochtones, nous rendons hommage au courage et au dévouement des vétérans des Premières Nations, des Inuits et des Métis qui ont courageusement servi le Canada en temps de guerre et de paix. Leurs sacrifices ont ouvert la voie à la vie paisible dont nous jouissons aujourd’hui, souvent dans l’adversité et malgré d’importantes pertes sur le plan personnel. En réfléchissant à leurs contributions, nous reconnaissons leur incidence sur nos collectivités et le Canada. Leurs récits de résilience et de force témoignent de l’importance de comprendre et de respecter les histoires et les cultures autochtones. #Canada #Vétérans #Autochtones #Commissionnaires
