Home Hardware Promotes Environmental Stewardship

For 32 years, Home Hardware Stores Limited has been enhancing green spaces across the country as part of its partnership with Tree Canada. Dealers, employees and local volunteers come together each year to plant trees and promote environmental stewardship in their communities through this initiative.

“For those of us at Home, community is everything, and each Dealer has a deep connection with the customers they serve,” says 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 Hardware 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 nonprofit 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,” says 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.”
