Who We Are - Clarifying Our Mission

Every once in a while, questions surface about The 870 Tactical Supply Company and whether we are truly a not-for-profit organization. We welcome the opportunity to clarify, because the facts matter.

We are proud to be an operating division of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires – Manitoba Division Inc., a not-for-profit that has been serving Veterans and First Responders since 1938. We are 100% Veteran-operated, and our mission is simple: to create meaningful employment for those who have served, while supplying dependable, fairly priced gear.

We understand why questions arise. Change is never easy, especially in industries where long-standing practices have gone unchallenged. But we believe transparency and accountability should always come first, for our clients, our community, and the taxpayers who ultimately support public safety.

Our clients know us not just by what we say, but by what we do:

• Delivering reliable, durable products designed by professionals for professionals.

• Upholding the highest quality, safety, and environmental standards.

• Reinvesting in Veterans and community, not shareholders.

That’s the difference of a not-for-profit driven by service, not profit.

We’re proud of our record. We’re proud of the trust placed in us by the communities we serve. And we remain committed to doing what we’ve always done—standing shoulder to shoulder with those on the front lines, providing them with the gear and support they deserve.

For Veterans. By Veterans. With Veterans.
