The Name?
We have been asked on a few occasions why the did we chose the name Bonaventure Support Services. The navy is a big part of Andy’s family and the HMCS Bonaventure was Canada’s last aircraft carrier. The ship never saw front-line combat during her career. She was primarily a support ship for the Royal Canadian Navy in a variety of ways.
The HMCS Bonaventure supported its navy community in numerous ways over her lifetime. We strive to support our community in various ways as well!
Bonaventure acknowledges the beautiful territory of the Coast Salish Indigenous people on which we work, live, play and support our individuals.
