Testimonials

“The entire city of Portage la Prairie was shut down and the Premier declared a state of emergency, yet the CBO team were still able to make it in and provide hot meals for our students.”

“…I can’t help but notice the MSR road shoulders, ditches and fence lines are being well maintained and cut back. It is a constant effort to keep these areas free of vegetation; these maintained areas act as a firebreak barrier to slow the progress of bushfires…This effort is noticed and appreciated by myself and the DND.”

“On behalf of Shell Canada Ltd.—Oil Sands Logistics, please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Canadian Base Operators during the May 2016 Fort McMurray wild fire evacuation…CBO, Shell’s contracted operator of the Aerodrome, was the keystone in the safe execution of this unprecedented undertaking. I personally witnessed the dedication, perseverance and consistent professionalism demonstrated throughout this exceptionally trying period. Based on my observations, CBO employees are firmly committed to safety, recognize when to intervene and are true masters of their roles; never has it been more clearly demonstrated than during this period.”

“Having been intimately involved with CFS Alert for over 50 Years I am also pleased to report that I have never seen the station in as good shape as CBO has maintained it over these past 4 years – this includes Janitorial Services/Bldg Cleanliness, Both Domestic and Airfield Snow and Ice Control Pgms (SNIC), Power Plant Operations, Vehicle Maintenance, Bulk Fuel and Water Plant Operations.”

“CBO was always forward thinking and aggressive in addressing and resolving any technical maintenance issues encountered. Further, the team was always willing to provide advice, engineering or otherwise, even when the issue was not necessarily yours to resolve. The team also provided continuity and helped facilitate the success of rotating military personnel, who greatly benefited from the sharing of your local knowledge and experience.”

“The openness and professionalism of your staff during the Royal Canadian Dragoon Exercise was evident to all ranks and greatly contributed to the success of the exercise.”

“I just want to pass on my appreciation for the dramatic and impressive work that is being done by the local ATC group. All issues are solved at a rapid rate, and I am pleased to pass on my thanks to all the people of CBO who work diligently to affect positive outcomes.”

“Your Information Systems staff have been responding amazingly quickly to numerous issues. The staff is literally here within moments to get issues sorted out right the first time, every time. This includes computer, AV equipment on the garrison but also the range training area. The professionalism we receive from IS definitely makes our job easier.”

“They gave their utmost to ensure that the logistics portion was performed in a most forthright and industrious manner. Each and every staff member accommodated all our needs, and if timings needed changing this never presented a problem.”

“I would like to take a minute to say “thank you” to each and every one of the CBO staff for all of the outstanding support—flexibility, commitment, and dedicated service.”

“All the Canadian Base Operators staff as well as CBO’s food services did the utmost to ensure that support did not wane and that our training did not suffer. This flexibility allowed all our training objectives at Meaford to be met.”

“They (CBO) have provided excellent support to us including the full range of facilities management. These include building condition assessments, maintenance, minor construction, and the design, tendering and supervising of construction contractors. Canadian Base Operators have high technical expertise and helped reduce our electrical consumption by 25 percent.”

“Your entire staff was very accommodating and extremely flexible. There is no doubt that we could not have accomplished our training aims at any other CF training establishment with the same level of effectiveness.”
