Thank you from the Commissioner

On behalf of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) members, for your work in helping us advance our correctional agenda and deliver public safety results for Canadians.

Every day across Canada, as CAC volunteer members, you help guide us in our efforts to create safer institutions and contribute to public safety.

As informed participants in the correctional process, you are responsible for not only representing the views of the communities in which we operate, but also in representing CSC's mandate and values to the community. By actively engaging community support, you help bridge the gap between offenders in correctional facilities and the community.

As such, CSC benefits two-fold from the participation of CACs in our daily work. We benefit from your objective and impartial advice about our work with offenders, and we benefit from your work as ambassadors for the organization in the community.

We sincerely appreciate the value of your contributions, and see the real results of your efforts reflected in the improvements you make to the lives of offenders, and in communities across the country.

Don Head
Commissioner
