Government of Canada Recognizes Canadian Corps of Commissionaires as an Event of National Historic Significance
Ottawa, ON – November 27, 2024 – The Government of Canada has recognized the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires (CCC) as an event of national historic significance.
The CCC is a non-profit organization that provides security, guarding, and investigation services across Canada. It was founded in 1925 by a group of former Canadian soldiers who were seeking employment after the First World War.
“The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires is an important part of Canada’s history and heritage,” said the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada. “This designation recognizes the CCC’s significant contribution to the security and well-being of Canadians for nearly a century.”
The CCC’s history is closely intertwined with Canadian history. The organization has played a role in major events such as the Second World War, the Korean War, and the Suez Crisis. It has also provided security for major events such as the Olympic Games, the G8 summit, and the Pope’s visit to Canada.
The CCC is unique in that it is a civilian organization that is made up primarily of former military personnel. This gives the CCC a unique perspective on security and public safety.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from the Government of Canada,” said Chief Commissioner David Hogarth. “It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our members over the past 98 years.”
The CCC is currently the largest private security organization in Canada, with over 20,000 members. It provides a wide range of services, including security consulting, guarding, and investigation.
The CCC’s designation as an event of national historic significance will help to raise awareness of the organization’s history and its contributions to Canadian society. It will also help to ensure that the CCC’s legacy is preserved for future generations.
