The motto of Canada Company: Many Ways to Serve is well described in the words of LCol Patchett: "I, myself, recently returned from Afghanistan last fall and appreciate the opportunity to come out with family, with the military community and the members at large to mingle with them and to tell them about my experiences. I think it's a really great thing that Canada Company is doing and that the people here have done for us".

Big thanks go to Mont Ste. Marie, who donated all the passes to the Forces members and their families, provided subsidized food and their mountain. Special thanks as well to sponsors Colt, Farm Boy, MaxSys, Morguard and Murphy Ford Sales Ltd.
