As we forge ahead into fall, Canadians are enjoying the cooler temperatures and beautiful trees as colours begin to change with the season. While we may still be in pandemic mode, there are many exciting things afoot at Canada Company.
This year, against the backdrop of deeply troubling events in Afghanistan, the 14th annual Canada Company Scholarship Presentation Ceremony was held virtually to recognize this year’s recipients and remember the ultimate sacrifice their loved ones made while serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. We were honoured to hear from guests Chris Hadfield, General Wayne Eyre, and Chief Petty Officer First Class Gilles Grégoire as well as from 2021 scholarship recipient Katherine Bobbitt, who spoke on behalf of this year’s recipients and shared what the scholarship has meant to her.
We are preparing more programs and virtual events, including the unveiling of more LAV III monuments across Canada in remembrance of the military members who lost their lives serving in the War in Afghanistan. Stay tuned for more details. As always, we will continue to serve the brave men and women who put service before self.
