Organized by Cascade Aerospace, seven Canadian companies chose CANSEC 2013, Canada’s largest defence and security tradeshow, as the venue to make a $16,000 contribution to the Canadian Forces’ Soldier On Fund. The fund provides financial aid to injured members to encourage their adoption of an active lifestyle. The contributing companies included:
¢ Avcorp Industries
¢ Cascade Aerospace
¢ Discovery Air
¢ IMP Aerospace & Defence
¢ MDA Corporation
¢ Patlon Aircraft & Systems, and
¢ Rockwell Collins Canada
Senior representatives from each organization proudly co-presented a ceremonial cheque to Greg Lagacé, manager for the Soldier On program.
We are very grateful for the generosity of these companies, said Lagacé. Re-introduction to an active lifestyle empowers injured soldiers to develop new skills, build hope and confidence in their abilities, and realize their full potential.
