Centred Content
Reena remains steadfast in its commitment to prioritizing the procurement of Canadian goods and services, especially in light of recent economic tensions and the imposition of tariffs on Canadian products. Supporting Canadian businesses not only upholds our core values but also ensures that the individuals we serve continue to receive the highest-quality products and services.
As part of this approach, Reena will implement a “Canada-first” policy in its procurement practices, which will be evaluated monthly, and will not attend U.S.-based conferences or training sessions. Three key principles guide our decision:
-
Strengthening Our Communities
Investing in Canadian businesses directly supports our local economy, fosters job creation, and underpins the stability of enterprises that share Reena’s dedication to social responsibility. -
Enhancing Service Quality
Canadian suppliers understand the unique needs of our sector, enabling us to maintain and improve the services we provide for individuals with disabilities. -
Ensuring Long-Term Sustainability
By fostering strong relationships with local partners, we reduce our reliance on shifting global trade policies and enhance our ability to remain financially resilient.
While we recognize the value of global trade, Reena will not be swayed by external pressures aimed at weakening Canadian industry. Instead, we will continue to invest in homegrown innovation, expertise, and resources that align with our values and our vision for the future.
We thank our Board for its ongoing support in driving financial sustainability, sector leadership, and service excellence at Reena. Together, we will continue to build a stronger, more inclusive Canada for everyone.
