I hope you’re having a fantastic spring so far. I’m thrilled to share Canada Company’s first newsletter of 2024 and provide a glimpse into some of the exciting developments ahead. Last year’s achievements will be a tough act to follow, but we’re ready to build on that success and provide Many Ways to Serve to those who serve our country.
A standout event in January was the Junior Canadians Rangers’ 25th Anniversary Celebration in Kuujjuaq, QC, you’ll find many captivating photos featured in this issue.
Looking ahead, 2024 promises momentum as we expand our pan Canadian Reach. We’re proud to announce the upcoming Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Speaker Series in Partnership with Accenture Canada, fostering connections between military and community leaders across the country. The series kicked off in Toronto in March with special guest speaker General Wayne Eyre, Chief of the Defence Staff.
Brace yourselves for more! This year, expect abundant opportunities, from bursaries and scholarships to engaging CAF Speaker Events and CAF Experience Days on our military based and ships across the nation.
Great things are on the horizon; stay tuned for more. Visit our website often and keep an eye out for upcoming newsletters!
