Toronto, ON – October 2025
Brassets Group was honoured to serve as a Captain Sponsor for the Commissionaires’ Centennial Gala, hosted at Toronto’s historic Casa Loma. The glittering evening marked a century of Commissionaires’ service to Canada—recognising their enduring role as a cornerstone of Canadian society, defence, and security.
A Century of Service
Founded in 1925, Commissionaires have provided trusted security and employment opportunities for veterans across Canada for 100 years. Today, with more than 20,000 employees nationwide, they remain a unique and vital organisation, deeply embedded in the social fabric of communities and the broader Canadian defence and security landscape.
The centennial gala paid tribute to this extraordinary legacy. Guests included military leaders, government officials, industry partners, and Commissionaires personnel—past and present—all gathered to celebrate the organisation’s remarkable journey and its unwavering commitment to both country and community.
An Evening of Recognition
The evening’s program included speeches that reflected on Commissionaires’ past achievements and looked forward to their next century of service. Distinguished speakers highlighted the organisation’s dual mission: to safeguard Canadian institutions and infrastructure while offering meaningful, purposeful employment for veterans transitioning to civilian life.
The gala also featured a moving tribute to generations of veterans who have worn the Commissionaires’ uniform, underscoring the organisation’s profound impact on both national security and individual lives. The evening closed with a renewed call to action: to continue evolving, modernising, and strengthening the mission for the challenges ahead.
