History of Westguard

Westguard Security Services was founded in British Columbia back in 1986. It was subsequently purchased by Darcy R. Kernaghan in 1992, building on his goal of developing a security company that specialized in providing unionized security personnel to clients across British Columbia.

Whereas Darcy’s other company, Securiguard Services, has grown to provide a long list of general and niche security services, Westguard focuses on clients who benefit from having unionized workers secure their facility.

With more than 200 employees exceeding the expectations of our diverse portfolio of clients, Westguard remains a leader in the security industry today, delivering creative and innovative security solutions that represent each of our clients’ specific needs.
