Canadian Corps of Commissionaires Celebrates 100 Years of Service

URGENT UPDATE: The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires is celebrating its 100th anniversary, marking a century of dedicated service to Canadians. This milestone highlights a strong commitment to providing meaningful employment for veterans and their families, a mission that has evolved since its inception in 1925.
Founded in the aftermath of the First World War, the Corps was established to help returning soldiers transition to civilian life. Inspired by the British model from 1859, the Canadian version quickly became a vital resource for veterans seeking meaningful work. As World War II unfolded, many commissionaires served overseas, showcasing the organization’s deep-rooted commitment to the nation.
Today, the Corps operates as Canada’s largest not-for-profit security provider, employing over 20,000 individuals, including retired military personnel and civilians dedicated to service. The Manitoba Division, established in 1938, has grown to include 1,200 members who embody the motto “Best Team, Best Led, Best Cared For.”
The Manitoba Division exemplifies community engagement, recently partnering with local groups to build raised garden beds and providing support to military families through programs like the Military Family Resource Centre. Such initiatives showcase the Corps’ ongoing commitment to its employees and the communities they serve.
As we reflect on this remarkable century, the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires stands proud of its legacy, having helped protect and secure Canadians nationwide. The organization is poised to continue its mission well into the future, remaining a steadfast symbol of service and dedication.
This celebration of a century of service resonates deeply, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who have stood on guard for Canada. Join in honoring the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires as they embark on their next chapter, ensuring that their commitment to protecting our communities remains strong for generations to come.
