About CANEX

 

A Brief History

 

By, for and with the Military… in 1954 Maple Leaf Services was established and empowered by the Department of National Defence to sell goods and services to enhance morale and raise funds for the betterment of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Fast forward to 1967 when CANEX was created and continued this mandate under military management, then ratified by the Defence Council to be formally established in 1968.

In 1990 CANEX was restructured as a line organization, operating as a unit of the Canadian Forces embodied in the Regular Force. Since 1996 CANEX has been an operational division of the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS)* governed by the Non-Public Property (NPP) Board, consisting of representatives from each of the CAF Commands.

 

Today, CANEX continues to adhere to the original mandate under military influence and leadership…

*Known then as the Canadian Forces Personnel Support Agency (CFPSA)
