Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair shared the information in a statement, Reuters reports.
The aid package, which also allocates money for training Ukrainian troops, is part of a C$500 million military funding committed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in July.
"The military assistance announced today provides Ukraine with important resources needed to defend itself against Russian aggression. Canada will continue to do what it takes to help them achieve victory," Blair said.
According to Reuters, Canada, one of Kyiv's strongest proponents internationally, last month said it would donate 80,840 surplus small unarmed air-to-surface rockets to Ukraine as well as 1,300 warheads.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Canada has committed C$4.5 billion in military aid.
