Honouring our Canadian Forces, Veterans and First Responders with Wounded Warriors
“Lest we forget”
Ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11th, it’s always important to remember and honour our veterans. It’s also equally important to honour and recognize those who presently serve both abroad and within our communities.

Cut Resistant Standard Changes
In January 2016 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) introduced a new standard called the ANSI/ISEA 105. The goal for updating this standard was to create consistency between ANSI and EN388 methods as well as to account of the recent advances in cut resistant yarns and technologies. The European Norm (EN) standard is still in the revision process and will be released later in 2016.
