Toronto, ON - July 1, 2021, Lifemark Health Group (Lifemark) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a multi-year contract to deliver Rehabilitation Services and Vocational Assistance to Veterans and their families on behalf of Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). 

The proposal was supported by a joint venture with WCG International Consultants Ltd. (WCG), a leader in the development and delivery of employment and rehabilitation services. Together, Lifemark and WCG formed Partners in Canadian Veterans Rehabilitation Services, which joins the two organizations together for the delivery of services under the contract.
