Spousal Retirement Certificate

Branch Retirement Spouse's Certificate Information

The Canadian Forces have long recognized the importance of its most valued asset, the men and women who honorably serve their country as members of the CF. The recognition process afforded CF members upon release or retirement has now been formalized. In essence, this initiative is to ensure that all CF members are given the appropriate recognition upon completion of their service. One of the most important activities is arranging additional presentations. The most significant of these is the one presented to the retiring member’s spouse. An extremely attractive Branch Certificate of Appreciation that reflects a spouse’s significant contribution and the gratitude of an appreciative service has been developed. This certificate should be suitably framed, unless it forms part of a portfolio presentation. The Communications and Electronics Branch provides retiring members and their spouses’ certificates of appreciation behalf of their Branch family.
