NDWCC 2024 Final Champion’s Message

June 13 2025

Lieutenant-General Eric Kenny, Judith Bennett and Raphaëlle Robidoux

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the Defence Team exceeded our goals for the 2024 National Defence Workplace Charitable Campaign (NDWCC). Together, we achieved a canvass rate of 100% and as of June 2nd, 2025, we raised $2.09 million for over 742 charities across Canada!

This is an outstanding accomplishment, and we should all be very proud.

This year’s campaign was full of excitement, with each L1 raising awareness about local charities and the work they do in our communities, and bases hosting various events such as races, bake sales, trivia challenges, escape rooms, bring your dog to work day, among many other creative ideas. These events brought people together and raised funds to support local initiatives in our communities.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated. Your participation has made a significant impact in our communities and in the lives of Canadians who benefit from the programs and charities your contributions directly support.

It has been a pleasure serving as your Champions for the 2024 Campaign, and we are pleased to announce the Champion Team for the 2025 Campaign:

• Champion – Nancy Tremblay, Associate Deputy Minister (Materiel) and
• Youth Champion – Raphaëlle Robidoux, Strategic Advisor, ADM(DS).

We know they will lead the Defence Team through another successful campaign.
