Ottawa ON
Canada

December 2, 2024, OTTAWA, ON – Veterans Ombud Colonel (Ret’d) Nishika Jardine will be in Southern Ontario the week of December 2nd to meet with the Veterans community. The visit includes town halls on December 3rd in Hamilton, December 4th in London and December 5th in Windsor. 

Town halls give the Veterans Ombud an opportunity to listen to the concerns of the Veterans community and share updates about the Office of the Veterans Ombud (OVO) and its priorities. Veterans, current members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and RCMP, as well as survivors, families, and friends are encouraged to attend.

“I look forward to visiting Southern Ontario. I learn so much from these visits because they allow me to hear directly from Veterans about the challenges they face with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). They also provide my office with important information on how we can better serve the Veterans community," said the Veterans Ombud.
