Membership

Veterans UN-NATO Nova Scotia ® is a regional enity and is a part of the Veterans UN-NATO Canada ®  group, both are protected by a registered copyright. Any person who reproduces our name or logo, in part or in whole, will be prosecuted.
This group was created so members can find old friends, stay in touch and share. But we mostly want to ensure that we never forget our fellow brothers and sisters- in- arms who have been wounded or have fallen in combat during a mission.

Membership Requirements

We have one official meeting per year. Participation is not mandatory. We are a group of active and former military who have served a minimum of one mission under the command of the UN or NATO. Germany and Alert are accepted as a mission. 

A mission is considered a mission only after a medal is awarded. We will wear our patch with pride because they represent who we are. There is no annual fee, no membership and no association fees. All you have to pay for is your Veteran UN-NATO Nova Scotia patch. All meetings, rides and activities are voluntary. 
 

The members of the Veteran UN-NATO Nova Scotia identify themselves to the group and to the population by wearing a patch. The patch belongs to the member and will only be worn by the member as it is a personal identification. We must never forget that when we wear the patch, we agree to represent the group as whole. No irresponsible behaviour will be tolerated when wearing your patch. Be proud and respectful. 

VETERANS UN-NATO NOVA SCOTIA IS NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE D.N.D., VETERANS AFFAIRS CANADA, THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION OR ANY OTHER VETERANS ORGANISATION. 

No criminal affiliation will be accepted. No Motorcycle Club (MC) or 1% patch will be allowed in our group. Even though several members own a motorcycle, we are not a Motorcycle Club (MC).

SUPPORTER (revised)

It should be noted that wearing the SUPPORTER crest is a privilege. To become a crest wearing SUPPORTER , the person must be sponsored and recommended by a  member designated as a ''Veteran''  member within the  Veterans UN-NATO Nova Scotai group. (ie Veterans Nova Scotia, other  Supporter members, Veterans-support, ''Ladies'' and others can not sponsor a SUPPORTER candidate) .

A candidate for the SUPPORTER crest must wait a probationary period of six months, during which he or she must demonstrate their interest and commitment to the group and the various Veterans causes. The Member agrees to integrate the group and accepts to adhere to the fundamental principles, vision and values of our mission.

The veteran member who proposes to sponsor a SUPPORTER, shall submit to the regional representative a letter outlining the reasons why this person deserves the privilege of wearing the SUPPORTER crest.  A probationary period of six months will begin on the date on which the regional representative has acknowledged receipt of the letter. Once the probationary period of six months is completed, and the candidate has demonstrated his interest and commitment to the group, the request will be forwarded to the provincial representative for final approval. It is important to note that the Veteran member sponsoring an applicant for the SUPPORTER crest understands that as a sponsor they are largely responsible for the actions of the SUPPORTER candidate.

If a conflict arises between the member and his  SUPPORTER  sponsor (or even with other members of the group), the facts will be reported to the National Steering Committee which will evaluate the issue and  with the help of the  groups provincial representatives, will make the final decision as to what appropriate action that are deemed necessary.

It will be the Regional Representative responsibility to ensure that the ratio of 1 (Supporter) for each 10 (Veterans) is respected.
