Babcock Canada and the Victoria Royals Partner to Celebrate the Canadian Armed Forces and Their Families

Babcock Canada is proud to announce, that in partnership with the Victoria Royals Major Junior hockey organization, they will be celebrating Canadian Armed Forces Military Appreciation (CAFMA) Month this November.

During the month of November, the Victoria Royals will host six home games, which will honour military members and their families.

As part of Babcock’s commitment to supporting the communities in which we live and work, we are proud to continue our partnership with the Victoria Royals and to jointly honour military personnel and their families during Canadian Armed Forces Military Appreciation Month.  As a trusted leader of Canada’s submarine sustainment enterprise, Babcock Canada is delighted to partner with local community organizations, such as the Victoria Royals, and are looking forward to working with the team, once again, to celebrate and honour members of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Every Friday game in November, Babcock Canada and the Victoria Royals will provide a discount on tickets to military members and their families to come cheer on the Royals at home.

It’s an honour and a privilege to be part of the recognition and support of Canadian Armed Forces personnel and their families. We sincerely thank Babcock Canada for their partnership and contribution, both on November 19th and throughout the month of November. We hope to make CAFMA Month and the CAFMA Game very special for everyone involved. We’re excited to welcome Canada’s military members and their families as special guests to the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre and I know the teams will play their hearts out.
