Welcome

Welcome to the 2019 Congress & Commissioning. It is a great privilege for British Columbia to host this year at the magnificent UBC Chan Centre and campus. 

Here, graduates from the College for Officer Training will be commissioned as Salvation Army officers, signaling a full-time commitment to sharing the love of Jesus Christ, meeting human needs, and to help The Salvation Army be a transforming influence in their community. Over these three days we will not only celebrate this moment but also gather in congress and have the honour of hosting General Brian Peddle, and Commissioner Rosalie Peddle with support of the Territorial Commander, Commissioner Susan McMillan. 

Whether you are able to join us in beautiful British Columbia in person, or will follow-along by watching the livestream we appreciate you being part of this special event and look forward to the opportunity to welcome you all.
