Ron Cannan, MP Tours Mission Ready's Kelowna Facility

Ron Cannan, MP for Kelowna-Lake Country, and member of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada, has paid a visit to CES Ensemble Services Inc. (“CES”), a division of Mission Ready Services Inc. (“MRSI” or “Mission Ready”). Located in Kelowna, B.C., CES is the nation’s premiere provider for the cleaning, inspection and repair of turnout gear for the fire service. During his conducted tour of the CES facility, Mr. Cannan took a hands on approach, taking the opportunity to help process military items currently on site from the Canadian Department of National Defense (“DND”) through the Company’s Advanced Cleaning System. “We are very pleased with the support we continue to receive from all levels of the Canadian government as we further establish relationships within the DND to showcase the effectiveness of our processes for the maintenance and repair of their gear and equipment,” states Rod Reum, President and CEO of the Company. Mr. Cannan’s visit to CES affirms his commitment to supporting Canadian business. As stated on his website (www.cannan.ca), “His greatest satisfaction comes from helping local organizations and citizens obtain the support they require from Ottawa.” Initially established to provide cleaning and repair services of turnout gear for the Canadian fire service, CES has not only grown that side of the business substantially but has since recognized the vast need for their services within the military and other first-responder markets. Mr. Reum further states, “We are delighted to receive recognition for our innovative, cost-saving, and potentially life-saving – Restore, Don’t Replace – solutions through a visit from our local MP.” About Ron Cannan, MP The Honourable Ron Cannan was first elected as Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country in January, 2006.
