In celebration of National Tree Day, Home Hardware Stores Limited is proud to continue its 32-year tradition of enhancing green spaces across Canada in partnership with Tree Canada. This initiative brings together Home Dealers, employees, and local volunteers to plant trees and promote environmental stewardship in their communities.
“For those of us at Home, community is everything, and each Dealer has a deep connection with the customers they serve,” said Kevin Macnab, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “The planting events with Tree Canada are just one of the ways our Dealers strengthen their communities; ensuring there will be green spaces for generations to come.”
Throughout National Forestry Week and the month of September, twenty-two Home stores will host community-driven tree planting activities. These events aim to contribute to the restoration and expansion of green spaces in both urban and rural areas.
Tree Canada, a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Canadians through tree planting and nurturing, provides expertise and support for each community tree plant. “We deeply appreciate the steadfast support of Home Hardware Stores Limited and their Dealers over the past 32 years,” said Nicole Hurtubise, CEO, Tree Canada. “This partnership enables us to make meaningful steps to grow Canada’s tree canopy and help us grow better places to live in communities across the country.”
