Join us in our Mission to:
|
Our Achievements this past year: Bilingual – we have established the capacity to communicate with all our members and to include material on the website in both Official Languages. Branding – we have partnered with CBSA RA Member Harry Troche and his daughter Kelly to establish a host of heirloom quality CBSA Retirees' Association identifiers (Badge, Challenge Coin, Patch, and Pin) to reflect our proud service to the CBSA and our Country. Employee Assistance Program Partnership – we have developed a partnership initiative with the CBSA Employee Assistance Program that permits access to all Homewood Health products via the RA Members-only website. From Our Members – we share our members’ remembrances and stories of their proud service with the CBSA. G-mail – we have partnered with Google and G-Suite for Non-Profits to allow us to engage members securely and collaboratively from coast to coast to coast. In Memoriam – in this new section of the website, we honour and remember those who have left us for their proud service to our border and their country. Membership Directory – we have established a membership directory to allow members to maintain contact through the Association with other RA Members across the country with whom they have worked and have forged lifelong friendships. Membership Management Software – we have adopted Wild Apricot, the # 1 rated association membership software platform, to manage every aspect of our Association’s operation; from web site design, to secure online payments, to the Association membership directory, e-mail distribution, and mobile application. Membership Survey – we have actively sought out your feedback to make improvements to your Association. National Executive – we have added Paul Porrior (ON) as a National Director, Sharon Darlington (BC) as our National Treasurer and Deb Steele (ON) as our Social Media Administrator to the CBSA RA Executive Team.
| For the Year Ahead: Retiree Assistance Program – we are planning to employ video conferencing platforms to provide our membership with mental health and wellness assistance. CBSA – CBSA RA Communication Strategy – we are in the process of establishing a formal joint communication strategy with the CBSA to bring you information on the work and innovations within the Agency. Membership Surveys - we will continue to actively engage members with opportunities to input into building and shaping the Association. Growing Membership – the RA will continue to encourage the applications of new members, from persons within their final year of employment with CBSA and from current retirees. Then look at the gifts we'd like to offer you:
The CBSA Retiree pins are of a very high quality, having been produced by the same manufacturer who made the CBSA RA challenge coin. The 3/4 inch size is perfect for wearing on a lapel, or mounted on a blue and black "mourning ribbon" (as shown at top of page) for wear at funerals or Peace Officer memorial services and events. |
