Ottawa – Veterans sacrificed so much to safeguard and preserve the Canada we see today. The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring Veterans, as well as those who work to support them, are appropriately honoured. Following the National Stakeholder Summit and before the Women Veterans Forum happening this week in Montreal, Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, presented 13 recipients with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation in recognition of their support to Canada’s Veterans:
Corporal (Retired) Steve Nadeau
These exceptional Canadians have contributed to the well‑being of Veterans, and helped to preserve their memory and contributions. The Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation is presented to individuals who often volunteer countless hours and go the extra mile to ensure Veterans are recognized and supported.
“These Canadians have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to serving Veterans and their families. It is my privilege to present them with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation in recognition of their tireless efforts to be there for Veterans and their families where and when they need it most.” – Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence
