CANEX Proceeds
Proceeds from CANEX operations are distributed to Base, Wing and Unit Funds to be used by DND to finance a wide variety of social and recreational programs for the benefit of military personnel and their dependents. Physical fitness, sports and recreational programs are among the main recipients of CANEX proceeds; examples of these programs include skating, curling and swimming, as well as on Base Scouts and Guide programs, libraries, hobbyist activities and more.
CANEX proceeds also help support military financial services offered under Personal Support Programs (PSP), such as low cost loans and grants to CF members and their families. These funds are further used to financially assist Bases/Wings/Units through grants from Canadian Forces Central Fund for special projects, which are not subject to public funding.
In addition to funding Moral & Welfare programs, the CANEX earnings are used to fund Capital Investments i.e. build new stores or renovate existing facilities.

Famous quotes containing the word proceeds:
“People who have realized that this is a dream imagine that it is easy to wake up, and are angry with those who continue sleeping, not considering that the whole world that environs them does not permit them to wake. Life proceeds as a series of optical illusions, artificial needs and imaginary sensations.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
