Pigeon Bay Strategies joins the NORD Webinar Series: A Practical Path to Entering the Defence Supply Chain
Canada is entering a major defence investment cycle, and northern Ontario manufacturers are well-positioned to benefit — if they know how to navigate it. Join us June 18 at 11 AM for a practical webinar with Greg Enns (Founder, Pigeon Bay Strategies; former President, Navistar Defence Canada) on how to enter the defence supply chain, where companies typically get stuck, and what it takes to win work.
A Practical Path to Entering the Defence Supply ChainNORD Webinar Series | June 18, 2026 | 11 AM – 12 PM
Canada is entering a significant defence investment cycle, and that's creating a real opening for domestic suppliers — particularly the manufacturers we work with across northern Ontario's tool and die and advanced manufacturing base.
But the defence market isn't like commercial sectors. The procurement cycles are longer, the qualification bar is higher, and the relationships matter more. Companies that try to walk in cold tend to stall out before they ever quote a contract.
That's why we're excited to be part of this NORD Webinar Series session with Greg Enns, Founder of Pigeon Bay Strategies and former President of Navistar Defence Canada. Greg has 25+ years of experience across Canadian and allied defence markets, and he now works directly with Canadian SMEs to help them break in and scale.
In this one-hour session, you'll get:
- A practical understanding of how the defence supply chain actually works
- The most common places companies struggle (and how to avoid them)
- What it takes to position your business successfully with primes and tier suppliers
- An honest read on where the real opportunities are in this investment cycle
If you're a manufacturer in northern Ontario — or you advise one — this is worth the hour.
