OTTAWA — The military officer tapped to manage Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign used her first public appearance in her new role to call on the military — and Canadians, in general — to strive to be better.
Brig.-Gen. Krista Brodie said she was excited and honoured to have been asked to take over the job, which involving overseeing the delivery and distribution of millions of vaccine doses every week.
At the same time, she said, “in these times, there are many, many things that we need to be doing within the Canadian Armed Forces and within society at large to ensure that our behaviours, our attitudes, our beliefs align with the better values of the profession, align with the values and the ethical principles that we uphold as Canadians.”
She went on to urge all Canadians to “make every effort to advance those efforts to ensure that we are being the best Canadians we can be in every facet of our lives.”
