Canpar has been proud to support Child Find since 2001. Child Find is dedicated to reducing the incidence of
missing and exploited children. They help in the search and recovery of missing children and the work to educate
the public to prevent the occurrence of missing children and youths. Canpar assists by distributing ID kits to
hospitals for new parents and delivers missing-children posters to distribution points.
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
(and their fund-raising "Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure")
Canpar has been a proud national corporate sponsor since 1998. In addition to free shipping of material,
Canpar usually has two vehicles and a number of volunteers at these run sites to offer on-the-spot support.
Canpar also extends its support year round with a number of Canpar delivery trucks across Canada that display
the "Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure" Logo.
"Canpar the official courier to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation".
Canadian AIDS Society
Since 1997, CANPAR Transport has been a national corporate sponsor of the Walk for Life. With CANPAR's support,
the Canadian AIDS Society has been able to promptly send promotional materials across the country each year.
These print materials are crucial to helping local Walk sites raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS in their
community.
CANPAR has also been a key sponsor with other Canadian AIDS Society events, such as the Skills Building
Symposium, the People Living with HIV/AIDS Forum, Annual General Meeting, as well as Giving Women Power Over
AIDS, a traveling exhibit which showcases an award-winning photo essay and information about the drive to
develop microbicides.

Canpar has proudly supported the R.I.D.E. program since 2003.

Canpar has provided shipping services to support the charity since 2000.
