Lordco Auto Parts (at least around Victoria, BC) offers 30% off for DND employees with ID.

ABC Country Restaurants in the same area offers 25% off for the same.

I'm not sure if Sleep Country has been mentioned yet, but in Edmonton at Namao Centre, they gave me a 10% discount, and threw in the floor frame for free.

We were also told on tour, that, BMW gives a discount 10-15%. Harley-Davidson unfortunately doesn't, but there is one in Winnipeg that will, but you have to travel there to pick up the bike.

Did you even attempt a search or a read of this thread before posting?

I typed "car rental discounts" into the search engine and got results. Did you?

If you check the 2010 Accommodation and Car Rental Directory on the PWGSC website, you will find the rates charged by rental companies for car rental for "Official Government Business Travel".

You will find that most times, most rental places will honour those rates for non-official travel. Most will not ask for a leave pass - it is best to ask if they will require any documentation prior to booking the vehicle. I rented a subcompact Nissan Versa for three days for under $110 over the May 24 weekend, as the wife took our car to the US to visit family. (That's with a waiver on collision damage coverage, as we have a rider on our vehicle policy which covers rental vehicles up to 5000 lbs. A wise investment if you rent vehicles more than once per year, generally)

Canadian Tire in Edmonton on 97th by Namao Centre has a soldier appreciation night I believe on the 29th from 6pm-10pm. Everything discounted except for labour. I will double check tomorrow to confirm the actual date, and percentage discount. All you have to do is provide valid military ID.

This has been true in my experience, except when renting from an airport location (I suspect this is because airport locations have such a high mark-up). Thanks for the link.

Keep in mind that the "government rate" is not always the lowest rate, especially on the weekend.

Go Transit is offering free travel to the CNE along with a companion for veterans on Warriors Day.

http://www.gotransit.com/public/en/news/cne.aspx

All promotional material indicates it is for Veterans only, but I called and spoke with "Owen" from Go Transit and he verified that it is all currently serving military as well. For verification, the traveller must be in uniform or have military ID.

The Alexander Keith's brewery tour has a discounted admission for military members (equal to the student rate). Also, they offer 25% off merchandise. I was surprised to find that I was able to use a 15% off coupon from one of those tourist maps on top of the admission discount.

The gift shop still has some Naval Centennial stuff available.

Extreme Pita at Brock Street and the 401 has a "911" discount of 15% for emergency services and military when in uniform.

Off Your Rocker in Belleville sells tax free to all personnel on their rocking chairs and other items. They have a store downtown and offer everything on their www.offyourrocker.ca. They ship all over North America. I know a woman in Sicily who bought and had her chair shipped to her via CF mail system.

Eddie Bauer, MicMac Mall in NS offers a discount. Just present your ID. I don't remember the %, nor do I know if it's Canada-wide.

But they did tell me to spread the word.

WTF?? I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that, since I'm probably one of the Orleans Lowes top customers. Not once has anyone ever mentioned a discount, and that includes having gone into the store in uniform numerous times and buying things like custom bathroom cabinets, tile, plumbing and electrical crap, and the like.

I just phoned them, and sure enough, the manager tells me yes, they have a 10% discount. When I told him nobody ever mentioned it to me in the dozens (if not hundreds) of times I was in the store in uniform, he said "Well, you have to ask for it". Well DUH! How do you know to ask for it if they don't advertise it??

Jeeeesus I'm pissed. I've probably spent a good $10,000 in there in the last year doing renovations on a kitchen, bathroom and basement.
