Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Veterans Affairs committee To add to that and to answer your question, we also do a lot of outreach in the community. We visit our local Legion, and we talk to other partners within our areas to show that we're out there so that members know that they can come to us. I know that recently we went to the Sault Ste.

Veterans Affairs committee It's really dependent on the person themselves. We all live life in a different way. Members transition in very different ways. It could depend on location. It could depend on what social assistance they have around them. Do they have family around them? Do they not? There could be multiple factors.

Veterans Affairs committee The after-hours wellness program that's done by the Toronto Police Association has been a very successful project that we've been working with. It's part of my Scarborough office as well, so we do receive a lot of referrals directly from them, after hours, of veterans who have been seen homeless or are potentially going to be homeless.

Veterans Affairs committee To add to the success, recently we've been getting referrals from the OPP as well, which is a big thing. The program is slowly expanding. Now my Kingston and Trenton offices have been receiving referrals as well. Yes, it is a great success.

Veterans Affairs committee From a Veterans Affairs perspective, we work hand in hand with our colleagues at the Canadian Armed Forces as a part of the continuum of transition. When we start working with members at the time they are transitioning, we work with them to identify any potential benefits or services they may need when they move on to civilian life.

National Defence committee As Mr. Harris explained, we now live in a digital world. The medical records of members of the Canadian Armed Forces are entirely accessible in electronic format. No matter where military personnel transit or where they move during their career, their medical file follows them. It’s instantaneous.

National Defence committee We’re using the new transition program, and we’re trying to see all the military members who are beginning their transition to civilian life. This important change took place in 2019, when we set up the new military-to-civilian transition program. We try to see all members, but it’s not mandatory yet.
June 2nd, 2023Committee meeting

National Defence committee Good morning. All our transition centres work directly with the Canadian Armed Forces during transition. At each of the military bases, there are employees working for the transition centres. During transition, the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans Affairs Canada and military family services work together to help veterans and their families.
