Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation – Nominate Someone Today!
This opportunity may be of interest to members.
Earlier this month during Veterans’ Week, Canadians from coast to coast to coast honoured the service and sacrifice of Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Every year, countless Canadians volunteer their time and resources to help, honour and commemorate our Veterans. These volunteers are crucial to making Veterans’ Week and Remembrance Day a success in communities across the country.
Do you know someone who volunteers to support Canadian Veterans?
Whether it’s someone from your own organization or in your hometown, we encourage you to nominate them for the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation.
A diverse range of work performed in contribution to the care and well-being of Veterans, or to the remembrance of their achievements and sacrifices, is recognized through the MVA Commendation.
The deadline for nominations is 31 January 2023. Please share this message with your colleagues, and nominate someone for their volunteer work serving Veterans.
Learn more and nominate someone today.

Bonjour,
Plus tôt ce mois-ci, pendant la Semaine des vétérans, les Canadiens d’un océan à l’autre ont rendu hommage au service et au sacrifice des vétérans ainsi que des membres des Forces armées canadiennes et de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada.
Chaque année, d’innombrables Canadiens donnent de leur temps et de leurs ressources pour aider nos vétérans et leur rendre hommage. Ces bénévoles sont essentiels au succès de la Semaine des vétérans et du jour du Souvenir dans les collectivités de tout le pays.
Connaissez-vous quelqu’un qui fait du bénévolat pour soutenir les vétérans canadiens?
Qu’il s’agisse d’une personne de votre propre organisation ou de votre ville natale, nous vous encourageons à proposer sa candidature pour la Mention élogieuse du ministre des Anciens Combattants.
La Mention élogieuse du ministre des Anciens Combattants reconnaît un large éventail de travaux accomplis en contribution aux soins et au bien-être des vétérans, ou au souvenir de leurs réalisations et de leurs sacrifices.
La date limite pour proposer une candidature est le 31 janvier 2023. Veuillez partager ce message avec vos collègues, et n’hésitez pas à proposer quelqu’un pour son travail bénévole au service des vétérans.
Apprenez-en plus et proposez une candidature dès aujourd’hui.
