In celebration of National Tree Day, Home Hardware Stores Limited has continued its longstanding tradition of enhancing green spaces across the country in partnership with Tree Canada.
For 32 years, Home Dealers, employees and local volunteers have come together to plant trees and promote environmental stewardship in their communities through this initiative, said the company in a news release.
“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.”
During National Forestry Week and throughout the month of September, 22 Home stores will host community-driven tree planting activities to contribute to the restoration and expansion of green spaces in urban and rural areas. Tree Canada, a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Canadians by planting and nurturing trees, 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.”
