Wishing you a Safe and Joyful Holiday Season

Message from the Ombud | 10 December 2024

As the holidays approach, I want to extend warm wishes to everyone in the Defence community.

While this season is often a time of togetherness and celebration, for many in our community, it can also mean being away from loved ones—whether deployed, on duty, or serving in other capacities across the country and around the world.

We recognize the sacrifices made by members of the Defence team and their families, especially during this time of year. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and we are profoundly grateful for your commitment.

On behalf of the Office of the Ombudsman for National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces, whether at home or away, you are in our thoughts.

Happy holiday, and we wish you the best in 2025.
