1. An individual complainant/plaintiff commenced an action against the RCMP, and the Law Firm, Kim Spencer McPhee Barristers P.C. (Herin referred to as “the Law Firm) represents that plaintiff 
2. The Federal Court approved the Class Action can proceed and ordered the RCMP to provide a list of names of those who might have been involved with the situation described within the litigation notice. 
3. These names were sent to Dewar Communications and maintained at that point. NOTE: The Law Firm did not contract Dewar, nor does the Law Firm have any current related interactions with them. (I confess I do not know how or why Dewar became involved.  That goes well beyond my woefully inadequate legal knowledge)
4. Dewar prepared and circulated the notification message, advising of the litigation many of you received.

PURPOSE OF THAT NOTIFICATION AND PROCEDURE AND IMPLICATIONS:

1.  It has been explained to me, the purpose of this Class Action notice was to give everyone a heads-up, there is a litigation and if you, as an individual, are planning to, or already have taken legal action against the RCMP for the same situation, you must “Opt Out” of the litigation described in the notice, or otherwise, lose the right to sue as an individual.
2. You are not automatically a participant in the litigation described within the notice. 
3. You can only become a part of the litigation if the court rules in favour of the plaintiff and a settlement is reached, and you want a portion of that settlement.
4. If indeed there is a financial settlement ruled against the RCMP, at that point, you, and only you can decide to become involved by making notice you wish to apply for a part of the monies decided upon by the court.  You are not automatically engaged.
5. If you decide you want to receive a portion of the financial settlement, you can make legal application to do so, and perhaps consider the named Law Firm as your representative
6. If the litigation fails, you have absolutely no risk of having to contribute to any court costs, because you are not involved. You’re just a spectator.

I hope that eases your concerns.  The next question is; what information did the RCMP provide to Dewar Communications?  The court ruled the RCMP must provide the names of anyone who could have any connection to the circumstances described within the litigation. In my conversation with the Law Firm, I asked what, if any vetting process would normally be taken.  For example; a. should the RCMP have provided only the names of those who submitted an application to join the Force from the year 1975 and onwards? b. should the RCMP have first contacted those applicants, asking if they believed they could have issues related to the circumstances?c. What personal details did the RCMP provide to Dewar Communications?
Yvette made it clear, the Law Firm has no idea what was asked of the RCMP and what details were provided to Dewar Communications, nor do they know the names on that list. The Law Firm had nothing to do with the Class Action notice that many folks received, and were as concerned as you and me, there was far too little related information made known.  Obviously, the wording left many thinking they were a part of the action and in order to withdraw, the onus was on us to opt out. It is now clear that is not the case. Unfortunately, just referring to legal information being available via a link can cause more trouble than it’s worth, and I believe that is exactly what happened.
As for the RCMP issue of providing personal details, the Director General, RCMP Compensation Services is actively looking into this on our behalf.  At her request, I was able to provide her with a copy of the Notice and she will get back to me, likely fairly soon, with details.  It is important to remember, the Federal Court had ordered the RCMP to provide names.  It is, however, unfortunate some names involved folks that applied for the RCMP as far back as 1953, while the situation described within the notice relates to issues that occurred in 1975 and onwards. 
I do have many more questions in mind that I have described to the DG Compensation Services, but I think I have written enough for now.  I am confident the RCMP will be cooperative and understanding.
Regards to all.

This message is going out to all Division Presidents and I ask you to circulate to your respective members.  I normally would have our Communications Director do this, however, he is not available this weekend and I am receiving so many messages of concern from our members who have received notices from the law firm who is handling the Medical Examination Class Action against the RCMP, they need to know what we are doing on their behalf.
A number of our members have received correspondence from the law firm “Kim Spencer McPhee Barristers Q.C.” advising they have until the 29th of October to “Opt Out”, yet, these folks have never “Opted In”.  There is a whole lot of Association members who are highly disturbed, they have been included in this action without their knowledge or agreement and they deserve answers.I reached out to the RCMP Director General, Compensations Services as well as the Corps Sergeant Major, describing the letter I sent to that law firm.  That message to the DG is below. Our members need to know what I am doing on their behalf, and I do not believe this can wait until Monday or Tuesday, because of the stress this is causing for so many.
Thank you for doing this.

MESSAGE TO THE DIRECTOR GENERAL, RCMP COMPENSATION SERVICES 
Subject: Re: RCMP Medical Examination Class Action – Notice of Certification – Federal Court of Canada | Royal Canadian Mounted Police Good morning Joanne.  I am getting inundated with messages from frustrated folks who never joined the Class Action, but are receiving letters from “Kim Spencer McPhee Barristers P.C.”  telling them they have until the 29th of October to “Opt Out”.I have written to them asking a number of questions, including:..Why are they writing to people who never asked to be a part of the Class Action..Where did they get the personal information of so many former members..What happens if a person who never joined the action chooses to ignore the letter and consequently does not “Opt Out”?As you are likely aware, there could be sever financial consequences if a legal action fails.  Those who participated in the “Action” could be assessed costs.
Whoever disclosed the personal information of our former members must be identified and held accountable.  Based upon the number of complaints I have received over the past 24 hours from folks who received letters but never expressed any interest in participating in the Class Action, this is not going to go away, nor should it.  
As President of the RCMP Veterans Association, it is my duty to pursue this until the answers are received.  I can state as a fact, the RCMP Veterans Association did not provide any personal information to that law firm, but someone certainly did. 
I will let you know the results of my information request to “Kim Spencer McPhee Barristers P.C.”, that is, if they choose to respond.
Kindest regards

A.P. (Sandy) Glenn,  National PresidentRCMP Veterans AssociationMembers Helping Members and Their Families

You can pay your 2021 dues directly from your bank account to the ODVA bank account in a simple e-transfer transaction. You will require the following three things:

1. Account email address to send payment to ottawavetsdues@gmail.com  
2. Enter the following security question:

                        What is the RCMP ceremonial hat called?

• Enter the answer (stetson) to the security question in the answer field.

            You can also pay your 2021 dues by mailing a cheque made out to:

RCMP Veterans’ Association – Ottawa Division at the address below.

2022: On Wednesday, September 22, 2021, you should have received an e-letter from Sandy Glenn, our Association National President, outlining that effective January 1, 2022, the Association membership dues paid to the National Association will be increasing from $37.00 to $45.00 per year.  We are required to forward these increased funds to our National Association. 

What does this mean for your Ottawa Division (ODVA) annual membership dues?

Presently, ODVA dues are $60.00 annually. We are required to forward $37.00 of those dues collected to the National Association. The remaining $23.00 is kept by ODVA for its’ operational needs. The increase of the National dues by $8.00 was unexpected but understandable since there has been no increase at the National level since 2017.  Your Ottawa Division Executive is        assessing the impact and options as to the Division portion of our dues.  This has yet to have been discussed in depth by your Division Executive Committee and any proposed increase in the Division portion of our dues would have to be passed at the Executive level of ODVA and then put to a vote to our membership for approval.

Further information regarding the amount and payment of dues for 2022 will be forthcoming shortly.

If you have questions on this or any other issue, please email us at ottawa.info@rcmpva.org.

OBJET : COTISATIONS À LA DIVISION D’OTTAWA 2021-2022

Chers membres de l’Association de la Division d’Ottawa.

2021 : J’aimerais profiter de l’occasion pour souligner qu’il y a actuellement certains membres de l’ODVA qui n’ont pas encore payé leurs cotisations annuelles pour 2021. Si vous ne l’avez pas déjà fait, je vous demanderais de régler cette question le plus tôt possible.

Étant donné que le site Web national pour les membres est maintenant « en baisse » pour permettre la transition vers les nouvelles cotisations exigibles pour l’année prochaine, je demanderais que les paiements soient effectués de la façon suivante :

Vous pouvez payer vos cotisations 2021 directement de votre compte bancaire à votre compte bancaire ODVA dans le cadre d’une simple transaction de virement électronique. Vous aurez besoin des trois choses suivantes :

1. Adresse courriel du compte pour envoyer le paiement à ottawavetsdues@gmail.com  
2. Entrez la question de sécurité suivante :

Comment s’appelle le chapeau de cérémonie de la GRC?

• Entrez la réponse (stetson) à la question de sécurité dans le champ de réponse.

Vous pouvez également payer vos cotisations de 2021 en envoyant un chèque à :

L’Association des vétérans de la GRC – Division d’Ottawa à l’adresse ci-dessous.

2022 : Le mercredi 22 septembre 2021, vous devriez avoir reçu une lettre électronique de Sandy Glenn, notre présidente nationale de l’Association, indiquant qu’à compter du 1 janvier 2022, les cotisations versées à l’Association nationale passeront de 37 $ à 45 $ par année. Nous sommes tenus de transférer ces fonds supplémentaires à notre Association nationale.

Qu’est-ce que cela signifie pour les cotisations annuelles de votre division d’Ottawa (ODVA)?

À l’heure actuelle, les cotisations à l’ODVA sont de 60 $ par année. Nous sommes tenus de transférer 37 $ de ces cotisations à l’Association nationale. Les 23 $ restants sont conservés par l’ODVA pour ses besoins opérationnels. L’augmentation de la cotisation nationale de 8,00 $ était inattendue, mais compréhensible puisqu’il n’y a eu aucune augmentation à l’échelle nationale depuis 2017.  Votre Exécutif de la Division d’Ottawa évalue l’incidence et les options de la portion de nos cotisations de la Division. Le Comité exécutif de votre division n’a pas encore discuté en profondeur de cette question, et toute proposition d’augmentation de la part de la division de nos cotisations devrait être adoptée au niveau de la direction de l’ODVA, puis soumise à un vote à l’approbation de nos membres.

De plus amples renseignements sur le montant et le paiement des cotisations pour 2022 seront fournis sous peu.

Si vous avez des questions à ce sujet ou sur tout autre sujet, veuillez nous envoyer un courriel à ottawa.info@rcmpva.org. 

Sincèrement

W.A. (Wayne) Jacquard, président

Instructions for this were provided by Kamloops Advocate, Bob Stephens where they have set up a separate account within their treasurers account and contributions are being sent by etransfer to Ken Parent at ken.parent@outlook.com, or cheques are to be sent to Ken Parent, 2364 Dunrobin Place, Kamloops, BC V1S 1W1.

They determined that this was the quickest way they could go in order to get the funds out quickly. We were further advised that the account is closely monitored by the BOD Kamloops Division and that have full trust in Ken. As of the last message Kamloops had already sent $1000.00 to each of 9 folks affected by the fire. As more funds arrive, more will be provided.

I would like to advise the membership of the RCMP Veterans’ Association, Ottawa Division that the Division is making a donation in the amount of $500 on behalf of all its members to assist the RCMP Community in Lytton in obtaining the necessities of life.  Our thoughts and prayers are with our colleagues and families at this time.

Pour faire suite aux messages antérieurs de l’Association des vétérans de la GRC au sujet des dons pour les incendies de Lytton, en Colombie-Britannique, on nous a tous informés que la Fondation de l’Association des vétérans de la GRC préférerait que tous les dons (de la Division et des particuliers) soient envoyés directement à la Division de Kamloops et non à la Fondation.

Des instructions à ce sujet ont été fournies par l’avocat de Kamloops, Bob Stephens, qui a établi un compte distinct dans son compte du trésorier et les cotisations sont envoyées par « etransfer » à Ken Parent à ken.parent@outlook.com, ou les chèques doivent être envoyés à Ken Parent. 2364 Dunrobin Place, Kamloops (C.-B.) V1S 1W1.

Ils ont déterminé que c’était la façon la plus rapide de verser les fonds rapidement. On nous a également informés que le compte est surveillé de près par le Conseil d’administration de la Division de Kamloops et que les membres qui ont pleinement confiance en Ken. En date du dernier message, Kamloops avait déjà envoyé 1 000 $ à chacune des 9 personnes touchées par l’incendie. À mesure que d’autres fonds arriveront, d’autres seront fournis.

J’aimerais informer les membres de l’Association des vétérans de la GRC, Division d’Ottawa, que la Division fait un don de 500 $ au nom de tous ses membres pour aider la communauté de la GRC à Lytton à obtenir les biens de première nécessité.  Nos pensées et nos prières accompagnent nos collègues et nos familles.

The roots of the RCMP are entrenched in the Contract Policing model. From its earliest beginnings the RCMP was tasked with maintaining law and order, enforcing the Criminal Code, Federal Acts and protecting aboriginal treaty rights. This mandate has continued unabated and with tremendous sacrifice for nearly 150 years. The fact that one organization can communicate and wade through the vast array of legislation that police utilize on a daily basis, while not having to transition though multiple jurisdictional roadblocks is incredibly efficient and effective. One need only to inquire with Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the Counties of Scandinavia to learn that the structure of the RCMP in Canada is the envy of these and many other Countries.

There is no question that the current environment within the RCMP is very difficult and this is due entirely to decades of budgetary constraints by successive Federal and Provincial Governments. The force has long been depended upon to stretch its membership extremely thin while numerous additional responsibilities are piled on by Government. After decades of neglect there must be the will to provide an adequate level of funding for the RCMP organization and its dedicated members and bring the force back to a position that justifies the reputation that has been nurtured since 1873.

I would welcome you to get to know the RCMP by reviewing the attached. It documents the history and current environment within the RCMP very well.

Please forward an email to ottawa.info@rcmpva.org. 

Include your name, address, postal code, phone number, email, Regimental Number and the number of coins desired.  Also, let us know if you wish your regimental number be added to the side of the coin. Only one number per coin can be inscribed.

The front of the coin proudly bears the embossed gold Veterans Crest against a dark navy background similar to the ring surrounding the inscription on the back.

The coin can be struck with your regimental number on the bottom thin edge of the coin if desired at no cost to you. A great way to individualize this keep sake for you and family members as a future heirloom.

Orders can be made through the Ottawa Division Veterans’ Association which is supporting this Calgary initiative.
