RCMPVA - RCMP Veteran's Association Crest Plate
Honouring a Legacy of Service
Members of the RCMP Veterans’ Association embody a lifetime of dedication, service, and loyalty to Canada. Their commitment to upholding the values of the RCMP, even beyond active duty, deserves to be celebrated. Each stunning RCMPVA Crest Plate, individually crafted by Bonnie of Glass Treasures by Bonnie Saunders, is a meaningful tribute to recognize their remarkable contributions. These plates are cherished keepsakes, perfect for commemorating the enduring legacy of RCMP Veterans.
Ideal for:
- Celebrating retirements or transfers
- Recognizing years of service
- Honoring milestones or achievements
- Family gifts to celebrate a Veteran’s career
- Anniversaries or birthdays
- Personal mementos or keepsakes
- Paying tribute to a Veteran's lasting impact
Proudly Produced in Canada
Every RCMPVA Crest Plate begins as a clear glass plate and is transformed through a meticulous, multi-step process into an exceptional heirloom. The unique crackled finish captures light brilliantly, adding depth and elegance to each piece, reflecting the legacy of those it honorus.
Each 8" plate is housed in an 11" open-faced solid wood shadow box, lined with striking red ultra-suede. The shadow box includes two custom engraved black plaques, allowing for a deeply personal touch. The display can be wall-mounted or placed on a stand, making it a versatile addition to any home or office.
A bilingual Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Bonnie Saunders, is affixed to the back of each frame. This certificate highlights the mission of the RCMP Veterans’ Association and the enduring significance of the crest, preserving its meaning for future generations.
Personalized Engraved Plaques
The two custom plaques provide a unique way to honor the Veteran’s service:
- The smaller plaque often includes the rank, regimental number, and name of the recipient.
- The larger plaque allows for up to three lines of text (70 characters per line) to commemorate a career, a special achievement, or heartfelt sentiments.
Bonnie is available to help craft the perfect wording to ensure each plate reflects the significance of the occasion.
These plates are more than just gifts; they are enduring tributes to the men and women of the RCMP Veterans’ Association whose service continues to inspire generations.
Glass Treasures by Bonnie Saunders is an Approved Product by the RCMP Veteran's Association.
When you purchase an RCMPVA Crest Plate, not only are you investing in a very unique heirloom, you are also supporting the RCMPVA Foundation in which a portion of each sale will be contributed towards.

"When thinking of a person that deserves such a beautiful commemorative plate to recognize exemplary service and an outstanding career with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, retired Assistant Commissioner Peter Clark, is top of my list. He also goes over and above volunteering hours within his community at Vermilion, Alberta.
When Bonnie was approached to design Peter’s gift, she jumped at the chance to honor his service. Her detail and professionalism is outstanding. Peter’s reaction to the presentation, was to say the least of true admiration for her work, and how impressed he was with the detail. This is a keepsake that he will hold close to his heart. Thank you Bonnie for designing a gift that was a great surprise! We would highly recommend ‘Glass Treasures’ to anyone looking for an original creation to celebrate a special recognition."

"I bought a plate for my son’s graduation. It is truly a work of art and he really appreciated it. He especially liked the fact that his name and regimental number were on the frame. Bonnie was very helpful throughout the whole process and it was a pleasure to deal with her. She even called after the graduation to see if it had arrived safely and on time. I had the plate sent right to Depot so he would receive it on his graduation day and it worked beautifully. Thanks again Bonnie!"

"Good day Bonnie, I received a plate from Mike Rude for my dad. I had a little gathering for him. He completed 36 years RCMP K Division, Staff Sgt upon retiring. You made my father very happy!"

"Hi Bonnie, We had a great time at the retirement party! My sister appreciated the RCMP Crest Plate and thankfully, no one else gave her anything that was remotely close to it! In fact there were many RCMP members commenting on it and inquiring where I got it done so I passed your name and email address on to them. Thanks again Bonnie and I most certainly will keep you in mind if I or anyone I know is thinking of a more personal gift like this."

"Bonnie Saunders with Glass Treasures had consulted with our Unit for a unique and appropriate gift for those who have rendered service to our Unit. The RCMP’s Federal Intelligence Team in Alberta is a unit of the RCMP dedicated to serving Canadians. We are a small group of RCMP employees who are dedicated to our craft and Bonnie’s creation of a unique plate resonates with all of us who have served in the Intelligence Team within the RCMP. Anyone can see from the final product that Bonnie is a master at her craft. She was so helpful to talk to and is a continuing help to us in finding a meaningful way to recognize our employees and those who have helped our Team.
