They have a HUGELY slick web page, and talk about helping CF members (reg & reserve) and families, but this is the first I've heard of this group. I also note the chair of Canada Company is also the Honourary Col. for the Royal Royal Regiment of Canada. Go straight to canadacompany.com, and you get endorsements from VERY heavy industry hitters - Galen Weston, Peter Munk, etc.
Sounds good, but anybody have any feedback on any initiatives?
