Town Halls
A Veterans Ombudsman Town Hall is an
informal meeting where everyone in the Veterans Community is invited including; all Veterans, RCMP, military,
families and interested parties.
A key objective of the Veterans Ombudsman Town Halls is to ensure that anyone who wishes to voice their
opinions and concerns is able to. Participants can voice their opinions and concerns about the Office of
the Veterans Ombudsman, discuss emerging issues, and hear the responses from the Ombudsman and his staff.
There will be a brief opening from the Ombudsman highlighting what the Office is working on and then the
remainder of the discussion will be opened to the group.
The Veterans Ombudsman wishes to conduct Town Halls throughout the country. It is realized that this is
ambitious goal that can only be achieved by collaborating with local organizations.

Our Symbol
We are proud to introduce the Office of the Veterans Ombudsman's new symbol. Each element has been
carefully chosen to reflect what we do and who we do it for—Canada's Veterans and their families.
The shield is significant because of its association with defending the bearer. This can be interpreted
in two ways; Veterans have defended the interests and values of all Canadians, and the OVO now defends
Veterans by ensuring that they are treated fairly.
The thirteen maple leaves that surround the shield are representative of each province and territory of
Canada, signifying that the OVO works for Veterans throughout Canada. The background colour of the shield
is also aligned with the colour scheme of the Canadian flag and the crown-shaped top represents the Crown -
the Government of Canada.
