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!
