A new survey has found that Canadians have the wrong impression when it comes to war veterans and their livelihood after serving in the military.
In a poll released ahead of Remembrance Day, the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires found that a significant majority of the 1,000 people surveyed falsely believe that at least half of all veterans receive a pension when they retire. More than 28 per cent of Canadians believe all veterans receive a pension.

West Kelowna residents were appalled to learn that some people who were evacuated from their homes during the recent fires became double victims.
They may have been lucky enough to avoid having their homes razed by fire, but many were not lucky enough to escape looters.
With fire season still in full force, in the face of a sudden evacuation what can Okanagan residents do to protect their homes from thieves?

Reasons for working for the Commissionaires: "It's the whole package - I have an excellent job, we are in the downtown core, which is terrific. I love the amenities of being downtown - I can go to an art gallery on my lunch hour and I like that kind of stimulation. We have great office space, I can bike to work and the benefits are great."

Virtually everyone thinks Military Police (MP's) when it comes to security on the Wing. However, they are not alone in this task! Supporting the MP's are the Corps of Commissionaires who, as integral members of the Wing Security Force, are responsible for access control security to the Wing and its many buildings and facilities.
