Major Michael Bain
Royal Canadian Armed Forces

Michael joined the CAF in 2004 as an Infantry Officer. He deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and Iraq and Kuwait in 2020. More recently, Michael began working with the RCAF as an instructor within Barker College. It was here he found his true calling of helping to improve organizational culture. After taking the Leader Character Practitioner Course, he began bringing the language of character into Air Force Officer Development. Partnering with Travis Lethbridge, they began expanding their sphere of influence into the rest of the RCAF. Michael continues working for the RCAF, and beginning the process of retiring from the CAF. He shares a future goal of improving government organization through a focus on character and hopes to one day be partnered with his ‘brother’ Travis.
