Last week, our team participated in our company’s global volunteer initiative, May Cares, by supporting an environmental stewardship activity with the District of Saanich.

In collaboration with the City’s Pulling Together initiative, we volunteered at Cuthbert Holmes Park, where our group assisted with digging around newly planted trees and spreading leaf mulch to help protect them during the summer months. These efforts support ongoing ecological restoration and long-term park maintenance.

Pulling Together works with volunteers to care for local park ecosystems through hands-on restoration and education. It was a valuable opportunity to contribute to a community-led effort and support the sustainability of local green spaces.
