Canada's Response to the Tsunami:
Information for Canadian Companies
Canadian companies have responded quickly and generously in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami. As reconstruction efforts increase, companies will be seeking information on how they can become involved.
Is this site for you?
International Trade Canada has designed this site to provide Canadian suppliers of equipment and services with information on commercial developments related to the reconstruction phase.
There are various mechanisms for companies interested in making a donation. Cash contributions to humanitarian organizations constitute the most effective way to help affected countries in their reconstruction efforts. Companies wishing to donate goods or equipment may be able to do so through the United Nations Development Programme Corporate Partnership in Emergencies or the Disaster Resource Network. Companies or individuals wishing volunteer their services should contact Canadem which has created a Tsunami Relief Roster.
