We're looking for sources of sponsorship and am wondering if anyone knows of a Canadian source for $$ for repairs/restorations of this sort. We are in Ontario Canada. I have looked into the CanadaRemembers website. They offer $$ for cenotaph (and site) upgrades or beautification but they don't allow for $$ to be provided for vehicle restoration. I'm wondering if anyone has ever approached Ford as the engine manufacturer for $$?
Any leads or suggestions would really be appreciated!
