On August 11, 2015 the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) held a Change of Command Ceremony at Kwìkwèxwelhp Healing Village in the Pacific Region. This occasion marked the change in command from the outgoing Warden Hilda Fehr, to the incoming Warden Marie Cossette.
The ceremony reinforces the responsibility of leadership in the role of Warden. It represents the symbolic passing of responsibility, authority, and accountability from one correctional leader to another.
This ceremony is an important tradition for CSC. It reaffirms the incoming leader’s pledge to support CSC’s mission and contribute to the safety and security of the public, employees and offenders.
