Capt Yvan Valade will retire from the CF on Jan 2011, after more than 28 years of loyal and dedicated service with the Canadian Forces and the CME Branch.  

Yvan is not moving too far away from us as he will be taking a civilian Planification Officer position within the CE Section at Garnison St‐Jean.   Accordingly, him and his spouse will continue to reside in the Chambly area.

As per Capt Valade’s request, a simple luncheon will be held to celebrate his transfer from the CF to DND (i.e. without the endless drag of presentations known with the DwD full suite checklist).  Coordination details will follow.

Should you have any anecdotes, stories or comments concerning Capt Valade, please forward to Maj Dominique Chartier.
