Welcome to Canoe

Long before the Trans-Canada Highway or even the Canadian Pacific Railway, exploration and trade throughout Canada was facilitated by canoe. In keeping with that entrepreneurial spirit, municipal associations across Canada have partnered to create the Canoe Procurement Group of Canada, one of the largest public sector buying groups in the country.

By combining the purchasing power of over 5,000 public and not-for-profit organizations throughout Canada, Canoe is uniquely positioned to get members access to a wide range of trade-compliant products and services at preferred rates.

Let’s Get Started!
