HOME HARDWARE REPRISES ITS SUPPORT OF NATIONAL TREE DAY

Home Hardware Stores Ltd. joined Tree Canada again this fall to plant hundreds of trees and shrubs at different locations across Canada. The campaign ties in with National Tree Day, which fell this year on Sept. 22.

Tree Canada is a national non-profit organization dedicated to planting and caring for trees in both rural and urban environments. Since 1992, Home Hardware dealers have planted over 28,000 trees, valued at over $1.6 million, in green spaces from coast to coast.

The initiative has endured for almost three decades because it resonates with the dealers. “As a supplier of lumber and building materials, this is an important initiative that we support corporately, and our dealers continue to be passionate about,” said a spokesperson for Home Hardware Stores.

“Our stores and their local communities face a variety of challenges, whether it be natural disasters or environmental events, leading to the loss of trees. Tree plants are a great opportunity to engage the local community, regreen or beautify areas in need, and, above all, create a long-lasting, positive environmental impact.”
