How we deliver
Through scholarships, education, knowledge exchange initiatives, charitable endeavours, and more — Canada Company serves our country, our veterans, and their families.
Our programming falls into three categories based on our core pillars:
Championing Education
The goals of Canada Company’s education initiatives are twofold. We aim to bring engaging content about Canada’s military history to classrooms across the country and to provide scholarships and bursaries to give children of fallen military personnel, exemplary Cadets, and Junior Canadian Rangers educational opportunities.
Scholarship program
To recognize the sacrifice of Canada’s military members made in service to our country, and to honour their legacy through the children they have left behind, eligible children receive $5,000 a year in scholarship for their college or university education.
Military History Learning programs
Our Military History Learning Programs continue to expand their reach across the country. In Quebec, Je Me Souviens resources have reached over 244,000 students and teachers. In Ontario, Honouring Bravery has reached 24K online users through educational modules, and 2.5 million users through videos.
Cadets & Junior CANADIAN Rangers Bursary Program
Annually, we present educational bursaries of $1,000 to recognize Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers who exemplify outstanding attributes of leadership and citizenship.
Raising Awareness
Canada Company’s awareness initiatives aim to honour the legacy of CAF members and help the Canadian public better appreciate military contributions.
LAV III Monument Program
Since November 2014, we’ve turned 33 demilitarized light armoured vehicles (LAVs) into monuments across Canada to honour the 40,000 brave CAF members who served in Afghanistan and the 162 who lost their lives.
Strategic Exchange Events
This program connects community and industry leaders with members of the Canadian Armed Forces, serving or retired, to learn from each other through roundtable discussions and military events like parades and mess dinners.
CAF Speaker Series
This program provides opportunities for the leadership of the CAF to share information with industry and community leaders in a convivial setting at locations across Canada. These events are meant to raise awareness of military matters beyond what is readily available to the public.
CaF Experience Days
We provide unique opportunities for civilian leaders to experience the leadership and intricacies of military life first-hand. Spending time at an airbase with the Airforce, a day of combat manoeuvres with the Army, or time at sea aboard a patrol vessel with the Navy are great team building activities.
Prioritizing Wellbeing
Taking on the difficult sacrifices of military life means CAF members and their families are faced with unique circumstances that can make it hard to connect to the right services, solutions, and support. Our wellbeing initiatives aim to close those gaps.
Junior Canadian Rangers Support Program
This program was created to support Junior Canadian Rangers facing financial challenges. We help pay for travel to attend the funeral of a parent or guardian, learning pursuits, and other unique opportunities.
CAMPS for Children
This program enables children of military members, including children with special needs or living with a parent suffering from PTSD, to attend summer camps. It’s an opportunity for them to learn, grow, create, and play, while providing their families with much needed respite care.
Aye Ready Program
The aim of this program is to provide timely, pointed, and meaningful support for specific activities or requirements in support of military members and/or their families; either financially or through contacting the responsible authorities. Donations to Military Family Resource Centres, to Padre Benevolent Funds, and to regimental organizations are just a few examples.
Appreciation Program
The different chapters of Canada Company organize celebration events to offer thanks for their service to retired and serving members, as well as their families.
Grief Reconciliation Training
These two-day workshops help equip those who are at high risk of experiencing injury, loss, or secondary trauma with the knowledge, skills, and practical steps to deal with the challenges they may face day-to-day.
