CHOOSE HAITI

Choose: Haiti is a new initiative that has gone viral. It is a project where people in Haiti collect pieces of litter, newspaper and plastic bottles which the get converted into bracelets by earthquake survivors.  They're made of 100% recycled material, and create jobs in Haiti today while saving the environment for tomorrow.  Keep this cause in mind while you're shopping for stocking stuffers this holiday season.

Commanders and Transformers Series: True North Strong and Free: What is Canada's role in the Arctic?

Tonight GMA will attend the Commanders and Transformers speakers' series for front line discussions on defence, Canada's role in the Arctic, business, and global impact. 

Presented by The Canadian Forces Liaison Council, ICE Leadership and Canadian International Council Waterloo Region, this interactive speakers series will feature Brigadier-General Collin J.C., OMM, CD (Chief of Staff HQ Canada Command) and Captain (Navy) Serge Bertrand (Director of Maritime Strategic Communications) as they discuss “True North Strong and Free: What is Canada’s Role in the Arctic?” in a dynamic interview with Dr. P. Whitney Lackenbauer (Associate Professor of History, St. Jerome’s University and author of Arctic Front: Defending Canada in the Far North).  This event was featured on David Pugliese's Defence Watch.  

GMA Supports Global Disaster Relief

GMA has essential disaster relief products on standby to assist with relief efforts worldwide.  We are particularly committed to efforts in Haiti and are currently preparing a proposal to work in collaboration with the Canadian government to execute an overarching relief campaign in Haiti.  We are also carefully watching Hurricane Tomas and preparing to provide shelters and portable drinking water systems should we be called on. 

Hurricane Tomas heads for Haiti

Tomas is currently a tropical storm with a probability of intensifying to a Category 1 hurricane as it approaches Haiti.With 1.3 million people living in flimsy tent camps in the capital of Port-au-Prince, and a cholera outbreak in the countryside threatening to spread to the capital, Tomas, even as a mild hurricane, threatens to wreak havoc on a country already devastated by an earthquake in January that killed up to 300,000 people. The government and international organizations are positioning supplies and manpower to respond to Tomas.

GMA is prepared to provide shelters and disaster relief supplies to Haitians should we be called on.  We are committed to assisting in all disaster relief efforts and have our products on standby for this potential crisis.  For more information on disaster relief solutions, including shelter systems and potable water storage tanks, call 888 967 6197.
