Canoe Procurement Group Purchasing Program
NSFM has formally partnered with like-minded municipal associations across Canada to form the Canoe Procurement Group of Canada. By combining the purchasing power of over 5,000 public and not-for-profit organizations throughout the country, Canoe is one of the largest cooperative procurement groups of its kind in Canada. This means that you will be able to access a wider range of trade-compliant products and services at preferred rates.
Through Canoe, NSFM trade will continue to support you in your important work of building vibrant, sustainable communities.
To learn more about this group effort and how to take advantage of it, please visit canoeprocurement.ca.
