Policy Bulletin

On February 18, 2015, EXCOM members approved changes for the issuance of CSC Badges pending the creation of a new Commissioner’s Directive (CD). The changes are being made to increase admissibility to the badge program and to reflect the practices in other organizations with a similar program.

Changes to admissibility of retired badges and acrylics:

• Employees “retiring” from CSC as authorized individuals or who were formally authorized individuals are entitled to receive a replica badge stamped “Retired”, in commemoration of their service.
• Employees with at least 10 years of exemplary service as authorized individuals are entitled to receive their numbered badge encased in acrylic upon leaving an authorized position or upon leaving CSC.
• If a badge holder passes away, his/her numbered badge will be retired, encased in acrylic and presented to the immediate family in memoriam.
• Under exceptional circumstances, the Commissioner or Senior Deputy Commissioner has the discretionary power to retire a numbered badge which will be encased in acrylic and given to the employee, as a memento, upon leaving or retiring from CSC.

Changes to the issuance of badges to recruits:

Recruits will be issued a numbered badge during graduation in Regina.
