Thank you for your concern about the situation in Japan resulting from the recent earthquake and Tsunami. TOA Canada recognizes the level of concern our friends in the industry have for the residents in the affected areas. We are not soliciting donations for relief measures, however some of our dealers have inquired about what can be done in this regard. TOA Canada Corporation is not set up to collect and forward any charitable funds from other companies or individuals. We encourage each person or dealer to make any donations to the Canadian Red Cross and specify that this is for relief efforts in Japan. Canadian banks are set up to take these donations.
