PROUDLY PRODUCED IN CANADA!
Each RCEME Badge Plate begins as a clear glass plate which becomes transformed into an exceptional, high quality keepsake. With many complex steps from start to finish, the creation process poses a high degree of difficulty. The delicate procedures result in the brilliantly rich crackle which receives and illuminates light and provides a unique element of depth to each piece. These remarkable heirlooms are rendered individually by Bonnie, with all processes administered on the backside of the glass.
Each 8" plate is framed in a black, 11"open faced solid wood shadow box lined with red ultra suede. Two custom engraved black plaques which sit on the frame add a personalized touch to these mementos, which can be either wall mounted or displayed on a stand. Included is a bilingual Certificate of Authenticity that is signed by Bonnie Saunders and applied to the backside of the frame. This certificate contains a brief description of the mission of the proud members who wear the badge or crest that is featured on the front of the plate. This is a great added feature for future generations to appreciate.
FOR THE PERSONALIZED ENGRAVED PLAQUES THAT SIT ON THE FRAME:
Bonnie recommends highlighting the rank/regimental number and name of the recipient on the smaller plaque. The second, larger engraved plaque provides an opportunity to include 3 additional sentences to better commemorate an occasion or words of choice. This is very important, as it will pass on historical details for future generations. There is a 60 character maximum for each sentence. Bonnie is happy to help you so the wording is perfect for the occasion.

When you purchase a Canadian Forces Badge Plate, not only are you investing in a very unique heirloom, you are also supporting the many men and women who serve to protect us. A portion of each sale will be contributed towards the Support Our Troops Fund.

TESTIMONIALS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!
Hi Bonnie,
Just wanted to let you know the plate arrived today. It is beautiful. I had not told my husband about it so it was a complete surprise to him. He was totally taken away by it and was really impressed. He was so happy it was the RCEME and not the new EME. After spending so many years in the military, this is a wonderful tribute to him. Thanks so much Bonnie. It is very nice. I am enclosing a pic of my very happy husband and he says "Thanks a million. Might order another at a later date." He was also with the Airborne.

"Hello Bonnie,
Here is a photo of Mike holding his badge plate he received for Christmas. He knew as soon as he unwrapped the paper what it was, and his hands began to shake when he opened the box. He was beyond speechless and moved to tears when he saw the plate with the RCEME Badge. It is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!"

"Cpl.(ret) AC Nicholls is very proud of his RCEME plate. With Bonnie’s help we were able to keep the ordering a secret from him. He was very surprised to receive his treasure on his birthday in November 2011."

"They have motivational posters in the halls of office buildings, and all over the barracks. My motivation is hanging on the walls, just like always. But you were the artist that made them. these are now in my I love my room. Forever thankful to you my friend. Not just for the art, but for the much bigger thing that they do in my mind. Cheers Bonnie."

"Bonnie, It was an honour to receive one of your plates to commemorate my time as Commanding Officer of 2 Mission Support Squadron in Bagotville QC. This plate marks a momentous point in my career as a Logistics Officer in the RCAF. The details and craftsmanship of the plate are exquisite and I reflect on great memories of my time in Command each time I look at it. I will treasure the plate and proudly display it as I move through my Military career."

“Hey Bonnie, I just wanted to send a quick “thank you” for the beautiful plate - you sent it back in August and I haven’t had a chance to thank you. I ordered one for the Essex and Kent Scottish Regiment for my boyfriend, Sergeant Kyle Ferguson. I gave it to him for his birthday and he LOVED it! He was amazed at how good it turned out - he said the regiment’s symbol was perfect and exact down to every little detail. We were both very impressed with it and I love being able to glance over at it as a reminder of what Kyle and the rest of the Canadian Forces do for our country. Thank you for your time and dedication at what you do.”

"Hi Bonnie, my daughter Trooper Ashley Lewis was presented with her badge plate for the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connoughts Own Rifles) at Christmas time. She was absolutely overjoyed when she saw it and was amazed by the detail and craftsmanship. She was equally surprised when she read the inscription that was written by yourself on the Certificate of Authenticity. Thank you again for all that you do in your work and supporting our troops and those who serve."

"Bonnie, it was such a pleasure to present your beautifully crafted plate to another Commanding Officer at 405 Squadron. LCol Osmond, Marie, was not only the first female Long Range Patrol Commanding Officer but she is also a good friend. I know she has this proudly displayed in her home."
