Dear <<c_First_Name>>,

Launching the Military History Learning Program

One of our proudest achievements this season was the launch of the Military History Learning Program in Toronto. Made possible through generous support from BMO and in collaboration with TVO Media Education Group, this program is bringing captivating military history lessons to classrooms across Ontario, aiming to ignite a lasting interest among young learners.

The Je Me Souviens (JMS) program started in Quebec in 2018, reaching over 160,000 students to date. The Ontario program, Honouring Bravery, will be accessible to school boards starting in September 2024. Both programs fall under the umbrella of our Military History Learning Program.

Unforgettable CAF Experience Days

Canada Company hosted thrilling CAF Experience Days at CFB Trenton, Canada’s largest airbase, and at CFB Halifax, home to Maritime Forces Atlantic and Joint Task Force Atlantic. The CAF Experience Days offered business and community leaders a rare chance to immerse themselves in the leadership and intricacies of military life.

In Trenton, participants spent time with the Royal Canadian Air Force, and experienced combat maneuvers alongside members of the Canadian Army.

At CFB Halifax, participants explored the roles and responsibilities of Royal Canadian Navy Clearance Divers from the Clearance Diver Unit Atlantic team.
