Who controls this corporation. Federal corporations must file their Individuals with Significant Control with Corporations Canada. That register is not redistributed here — it can only be searched by corporation name or number, by design, so it cannot become a lookup by a person’s name. Search it directly for corporation number 805744-3: Corporations Canada — federal corporation search.
Global legal identity. This organisation carries a Legal Entity Identifier in the GLEIF system. The LEI is evidence attached to this entities.ca record; it does not replace the permanent Canadian Entity Identifier. Open the GLEIF source record.
Québec keeps a fuller record than this one. The Registre des entreprises publishes each registered business’s directors, officers and ultimate beneficiaries — the ownership question no federal source answers in bulk. It is not reproduced here: it is published under a licence forbidding commercial use and requiring derivatives to carry the same terms, which this project will not impose on the open data it is joined to. Search it directly: Registre des entreprises du Québec. Why it is not used here.

Where this organisation appears in public records
Eight independent dimensions describe the size and shape of the evidence. They are deliberately not added into one company score: a licence, a grant, a director filing and a court finding mean different things.
Footprint is not performance.
A larger bar means more public records of that kind. It does not mean better, worse, safer, larger, more profitable or more reputable.

Each dimension uses fixed, logarithmic caps so one dataset with thousands of repeated rows cannot drown out every other fact. Read the formula and limits.

Value as published, not money paid. The federal contract value field includes the ceiling of standing offers and supply arrangements — purchasing capacity a department may never draw on. A large figure here can mean a large ceiling rather than a large payment.
Awards are attached to this record only where the evidence identifies exactly one organisation: a name and postal area that narrow to a single company, or a name unique across the whole national corpus. Proactive publication truncates the vendor postal code to three characters, so anything that could belong to more than one company is left unattached rather than guessed at. Totals are a floor in that direction. The full rules.

This is a different fact from public money above: a standing offer or supply arrangement means the government has pre-agreed to buy specific goods or services from this organisation at set terms if it chooses to — it does not mean any money has changed hands. The source publishes only currently active agreements and carries no dollar figure at all, unlike the contract value field, which sometimes states a ceiling rather than a payment. How this is attached.
What it does
- Industry code
- 5174 · 541990North American Industry Classification System
Trade and licence class are the publisher’s own words, kept as written rather than mapped onto a vocabulary of this site’s invention — a Calgary “RESTAURANT” and a Montréal “Restaurant service rapide” describe the same thing and are not the same string, and pretending otherwise would put words in a city’s mouth. The industry code is the exception: NAICS is a standard shared across Canada, the United States and Mexico, so it means the same thing wherever it appears. Only some publishers assign one.

Why this is one record
5 public datasets from 4 independent publishers describe this organisation. They were joined into one record because the evidence below agreed — never on a matching name alone.
- Same name and postal code H3A 2M8asserted by Corporations Canada (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada) and Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF)
An automatic merge requires a shared business number, or a matching name AND address — never a name by itself. How resolution works.

Freshness is measured, not implied. “Last captured” is when this project last completed a read of the whole source dataset. “Coverage kept” is how many immutable captures and meaningful capture-to-capture comparisons are available. A missed day remains an explicit gap; a later snapshot cannot tell us what happened inside it. See every source.
This page is assembled from open data. It is not an official record, and the registrar is authoritative where the two disagree. How records are assembled.
