Veterans Affairs Canada increases service delivery to Veterans in New Brunswick


Veterans Affairs Canada is hiring up to 30 new employees in New Brunswick

MONCTON, NB, July 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Honouring our Veterans means more than commemorating the past. It means giving them a high standard of service where and when they need it. It means hiring more frontline staff to ensure Veterans and their families are being supported.

In an effort to increase service delivery to Veterans and their families and deliver the Pension for Life plan previously announced in December 2017, Veterans Affairs Canada is hiring up to 30 new employees in New Brunswick. These new employees are part of the Government of Canada's commitment to provide service and care to Veterans and their families.

This investment was announced in Budget 2018 and builds upon investments made over the last three years. Budget 2016 improved financial security for many Veterans. Budget 2017 focused on the well-being of Veterans and their families and invested in mental health supports, education opportunities, caregiver supports and career transition services. Budget 2018 and the Pension for Life plan will bring further financial supports and services for Veterans.

Quotes
"I have heard Veterans, their families and people who care about and advocate for Veterans in more than 30 town hall and roundtable meetings across Canada since January. Delivering necessary services in a timely and easily accessible way is a common thread. Increasing the number of people on the ground is an essential step towards delivering better services."

The Honourable Seamus O'Regan, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence
