Paladin salutes its front-line workers

Paladin Security is honouring its 14,000 employees across Canada, including 315 in Kelowna, with a “challenge coin” for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The coin recognizes our security officers who have taken part, along with hundreds of thousands of other front-line works, in the battle of a lifetime to save lives and keep people healthy,” the company said in a news release.

“In our lifetimes, we have never been faced with a challenge of this magnitude. Our teams across the country have worked tirelessly to ensure the evolving needs of our customers are not only met but exceeded,” said Paladin COVID-19 Recognition Committee Chair and Branch Manager Jason Lynagh.

The coin will come with a commemorative lapel pin, a certificate of recognition and a letter from Paladin’s president, Chad Kalyk.
