As part of our new Membership Services Program - MNL Advantage, we have partnered with Canoe Procurement Group of Canada to provide our members with access to competitively priced goods and services.
Canoe Procurement enables municipalities to purchase from pre-approved vendors without the need to go through a tender process. A letter to MNL from the provincial government's chief procurement officer specifically allows municipalities to participate.
