Royal Canadian Corps of Signals

DESERVING TO BE RECOGNIZED

PROUDLY PRODUCED IN CANADA!

Each Royal Canadian Corps of Signals 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.  

Glass Treasures by Bonnie Saunders provides official products under license from Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, the Department of Defence and the Canadian Forces.

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.

Be sure to have your camera ready! The proud recipients will be pleased beyond measure! 

"Hi Bonnie, Here is a picture of my dad receiving his plate at his 50th Anniversary. He loved it and all of his SIGs buddies that were here for the party all want your website. I will be forwarding it on to them. It was beautiful and was something my father did not expect at all

Thank you!"

"Hi Bonnie,  sorry for the late response.  My dad loved it and he actually cried when he opened it.  It definitely made my Christmas.  Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family."

“Served in the Reg Force 1972 to 1977 as a Radio Operator with the 1st Canadian Signals Regiment (2 tours Middle East). From 1978 to 2007 reserve infantry with Lincoln and Welland Regiment. 2007 to 2010 Reg Force again as an Armoured Crewman with LDSH (RC) one tour Afghanistan 2009.

I was overwhelmed when I received these regimental plates from Bonnie. It was an honour for me to have had the opportunity to serve in these historical units. When I look at them the memories of the outstanding men and woman I served with who are friends for life bring a smile to my face.”

"Bonnie, thanks for the fantastic plates! After 40 years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces I retired on 13 February 2019 and was formally presented with these in honour of my service. Col Nishika Jardine, an old friend and fellow member of RCEME, presented the Corps plate, and LCol Gabriel Dore, Commanding Officer RCSU (Central), presented the CIL plate.

The senior staff of RCEME were highly impressed with the corps plate and are interested in looking to make this part of their routine retirement presentations. If you are interested I'll pass on your contact information to them."

Lieutenant-Colonel (Ret'd) Charles Jansen
