Institutional Partnerships & Strategic Contributions
Supporting the Future of the Industry
At CKTI, we recognize that our most significant impact is driven by the collective strength of our industry partners. Whether you are a vendor, a manufacturer, or a retail dealer, your support is vital to the ongoing advocacy and development of the Canadian knife and tool sector.
We have structured our institutional contribution program to ensure seamless integration and appropriate legal oversight for our corporate partners.
Corporate Contribution Process
Key Partners (Dealers, Vendors, and Corporate Partners) :
Once applications to join the association are vetted and all internal checks are made, institutional partners may be eligible to pay into the litigation fund maintained by McMillan LLP.
Individual Supporters (Consumers): Contributions from individual supporters are collected by the CKTI and subsequently transferred in full to the legal trust account managed by McMillan LLP.
