Commissioners Pictured: John Trickett chats with Her Honour Judy Foote, Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador Commissionaires NL - Serving Those Who Have Served Our Nation When our customers first land in Port aux Basques, often the first face they see when disembarking is that of a Commissionaire. The Commissionaires is a leading Canadian security services provider-led and managed by veterans for veterans. Established in 1925, their mandate is to create meaningful employment opportunities for former members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP – “serving those who have served our nation”. “MAI has been utilizing the services of the Commissionaires NL, which is a division of the national organization of Commissionaires for approximately 30 years,” said John Trickett, Manager of Corporate Security. “As a Crown Corporation, we have a contract with Commissionaires NL for security services via a Public Works standing offer. We have about 80 Commissionaires working with us at our port locations, who provide a range of security services for our organization.” John was recently a guest of Commissionaires NL at a Commissionaires’ Board of Directors’ dinner hosted by Her Honour Judy Foote, Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, who serves as the patron of Commissionaires NL. Commissionaires NL provides security services at several commercial and government sites such as the House of Assembly, St. John’s International Airport, and Canadian Forces Base Goose Bay, in addition to Marine Atlantic. Commissionaires NL was founded in 1949 by then Lieutenant Governor Leonard Outerbridge. Since that time, subsequent Lieutenant Governors have served as the patron for the organization. Commissionaires NL currently provides employment for 800 veterans throughout the province. Significance of Remembrance Day at MAI Lest We Forget. At Marine Atlantic, we honour the sacrifices and achievements made by all those who served our country. Whether it was the Newfoundland “Blue Puttees” that bravely fought during World War I, the brave Nova Scotia Highlanders’ regiments that were an integral part of World War II, the peacekeepers whose efforts protect civilians in war zones or the thousands of military personnel who serve our country today, we remember and honour this sacrifice. We also recognize and honour the 136 men, women and children who perished in 1942 when the SS Caribou was torpedoed by a German U-boat on its route between North Sydney and Port aux Basques. 6 STRAIT TALK // NOVEMBER <strong>2019</strong>
