A donation is the permanent gifting of surplus materiel to recognized charitable or non-profit organizations.
The preservation of military monuments is an important aspect of safeguarding Canada's military heritage. Surplus assets suitable for display purposes may be donated to recognized charitable or non-profit organizations such as museums, Legions, Veterans' associations and municipalities as static monuments.
Recipients of donations are responsible for all associated costs, including transportation, cosmetic restoration, mounting and ongoing upkeep of the asset. A business case may be required to further support requests for complex assets.
For questions related to disposal processes please contact DDSAL at: DDSAL-DSVAP@forces.gc.ca.
E-mails sent to this address will be forwarded to the appropriate contact within the directorate.
