Veterans have helped establish, protect and maintain the Canada we see today. The Government of Canada is committed to recognizing and honouring the contributions of these brave servicewomen and men, as well as those who work to support them.
Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence, awarded the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation to these eight Albertans in recognition of their unwavering support to Canada's Veterans:
Warrant Officer (retd) Glenn Miller
Reverend Larry Nicolay (posthumous award)
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.
