What is Canada Company?

Canada Company: Many Ways to Serve (Canada Company) is a not-for-profit, apolitical organization, first established in May 2006 with a pledge to stand shoulder to shoulder with our troops for the sacrifices they make every day.

Canada Company focuses on making sure Canadians, who serve or wish to serve in the Canadian Forces and Reserves, and their families receive the widest possible support, recognition and care they deserve.

Canada Company is not a booster club, nor does it pick or take sides with whatever mission a government decides is appropriate for the Canadian Forces and Reserves.

What is the Meaning Behind Canada Company's Motto?

The motto "Many Ways to Serve" provides an opportunity for Canada Company members to lend their voices, expertise and resources to ensure that our troops are supported and championed. This motto has guided Canada Company's goal to raise Canada's awareness of its soldiers to everyday consciousness.
