OTTAWA, Ontario, NOV. 12, 2026 – Canadians are connecting with important community programs and initiatives this year through over $1,000,000 in support from Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Canada.

As part of a deep-rooted commitment to supporting communities where employees live and work, Lockheed Martin Canada focuses its philanthropic efforts on three key areas: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education, military and Veteran causes, and community resilience.

“We are inspired by the impact these organizations have in communities across Canada and are proud to contribute to the opportunities they create,” said Kristen Leroux, Vice President and Regional Executive, Canada and Latin America. "We thank all our partners who continue to make positive differences in the lives of past, current and future Canadian service members and provide chances for young Canadians to explore their interests in STEM, helping shape the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.”

Creating Opportunities Through Education

Lockheed Martin Canada's support for organizations such as Indspire, Actua, FIRST Robotics Canada, the Royal Canadian Air Force Foundation, and the Air Cadet League of Canada help students access educational opportunities, develop new skills, and explore future careers in high-demand fields.

“Investing in Indigenous students pursuing education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is an investment in the future of our communities and our country," said Kate Espina, Vice President, Development, Indspire. “The Lockheed Martin Canada Award for Indigenous Students is helping reduce financial barriers and create opportunities for First Nations, Inuit and Métis students to pursue their educational goals and build careers in fields that will shape our collective future. We are grateful for their commitment to supporting Indigenous student success and for helping make these pathways more accessible to students across Canada.”

Supporting Veterans, Military Families and Community Resilience

Lockheed Martin Canada's contributions also help strengthen support networks for Canada's military and Veteran communities. Through partnerships with organizations including Veterans' House Canada, Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS), Shoulder2Shoulder, Perley Health Foundation, Team Rubicon Canada, and the Canadian Red Cross, these contributions help provide housing, wellbeing programs, disaster response, recovery assistance, and community services across the country.

“Without this generosity, we could not provide additional permanent, supportive, and affordable housing for those who have served our country and now need help,” said Brigadier-General (Ret’d) Alan Mulawyshyn, Executive Director and Founder of Veterans’ House Canada. “Lockheed Martin Canada's funding has directly made this project a reality.”
