These remain challenging times. COVID-19 is still our reality. Canada Company is adapting and going virtual wherever possible. We continue to work from home and follow provincial and federal guidelines.
Throughout, Canada Company has remained committed to delivering programs in support of our military members and their families. An important initiative is the Reservists Ready Campaign—bridging businesses and military members. Read below to see how you can support Reservists called for service during COVID-19.
Thank you for your support. All the best wishes. Have a marvellous summer, and please stay healthy.

Reservists Ready Campaign
|
The Reservists Ready Campaign calls on Canadian businesses to support Reservist employees called for full-time service to end the spread of COVID-19.
The campaign has received positive engagement on social media and overwhelming support from companies from coast to coast to coast. Supporters include all of Canada’s largest banks, as well as national organizations such as General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), Loblaws Inc., and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE). Many other Canadian organizations, big and small, have stepped up and made the pledge to support the Reservists Ready Campaign. The initiative also has the support of business-related associations such as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council of Canada who have shared details of the campaign with their members.
It is not too late to show support for our Canadian military. Add your organization to the Canada Company Reservists Ready Campaign by filling out the support form.

As always, we thank the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who work tirelessly to ensure our safety. And our donors who make it possible for us to continue to support military members and their families during these difficult times.
