MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA, Sep 01, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Garda World Security Corporation /quotes/comstock/11t!gw (CA:GW 7.87, +0.27, +3.55%) (Garda), one of the most trusted Physical Security, Cash Logistics, and Global Risk Consulting firms in the world, announced today that the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada has selected its GardaWorld Global Risk Advisory Group to provide protective services for the Canadian Embassy in Haiti.
The four-year (one year plus three year extension options) agreement calls for GardaWorld to provide access control and security at the Embassy and the staff residences. Additionally GardaWorld will safeguard the Ambassador and diplomatic staff, in Port-au-Prince and when traveling throughout the country.
“We welcome the opportunity to provide the Canadian government with our expertise and experience in diplomatic protective services,” said Nick Copeland, Managing Director, Latin America, for GardaWorld. “The situation in Haiti remains fragile. We are confident that working with our local alliance partner, we will help ensure the safety of Canada’s mission.”
As part of a Canadian company with a recognized global expertise in humanitarian and diplomatic security, GardaWorld responded to the devastating January 2010 earthquake by quickly forming a team in order to support its NGO clients with humanitarian efforts in Haiti. GardaWorld has since established a long term presence, helping to reduce risks and provide solutions for a number of clients.
Globally, Garda also joined with many organizations in addressing the crisis by donating the use of its aircraft to get relief supplies to the country. Particularly in Canada, Garda employees, many of whom are of Haitian descent, organized efforts to collect clothing, water, medical supplies, and made donations as well.
“Garda is pleased to support the Canadian government in this vital area” said Stephan Cretier, President and CEO. “Our GardaWorld experts work with NGOs and relief organizations throughout the world in alleviating the human suffering caused by conflicts, social unrest, and natural disasters. They will apply that experience in support of Canada’s efforts in Haiti as they protect our Embassy and diplomatic staff.”

Ala traka papa. Yo fin kreye mons yo. epi kounyeya, mons la soti pou li manje yo. Bon, ki kote yo konnen yo pran la a?
Gen le yo pran nan twa wa:
Wa Kaka
Wa Gen tan Konnen
Wa Kite Sot.
Lajan bon, se le yo itilize l pou sevi byennet kretyen vivan
Lajan se dyab, le yo itilize pou achte pouvwa.
Ayiti pa Piyay
Ayiti pa t Piyay
Ayiti pa p janm Piyay
Bondye ki te gide Zanset nou yo toujou la
Bondye ki te ban nou Lobete anba grif dyad yo toujou pre pou ede nou soti anko anba cha daso kriminel degize yo.
Nou selman ap tann yo nan kafou Tenten pou nou fe fas kare avek yo.Nou deja konnen nou pa pou kont. Menm Bondye ki te fe Esklav yo mete tet ansanm lan toujou la. Li envite chak Ayisyen pou yo selman di non ak sa k ap fet yo nan peyi a, epi, tout bagay kaba.
Mod tenten sa yo dwe pran bout nan peyi a. Ayiti pa nan lage ak pesonn. Ayisyen pa merite move tretman sa yo. Pesonn pa dwe vin eseye krok dan santi yo sou li.
Tan selman, pa gen priye ki pa gen amen.
