BRAMPTON, ON April 30, 2025 - In honour of Sonepar’s 40th anniversary in Canada, a donation of $40,000 was made to Habitat for Humanity Canada’s Every Youth Initiative.
“A key pillar of our 2025 Strategy Roadmap is supporting our communities. We feel it is important to do good into the communities where our associates, customer and vendors live and work. Habitat Canada is a well-respected national organization that brings economic, environmental and social benefits through their projects and we are happy to be able to support their Every Youth Initiative with this donation,” states Sonepar Canada President George McClean.
The Every Youth Initiative empowers local youth by providing meaningful opportunities to build skills, confidence, and a strong sense of community pride through Habitat for Humanity projects. This program provides youth with valuable trade and workplace skills while fostering community engagement. Recently, the program engaged high school students in building tiny homes in partnership with a First Nation to help meet local housing needs.
When choosing an organization for this donation, Sonepar again considered its Purpose and how Habitat for Humanity aligns with these values. Habitat Canada focuses on upskilling youth, empowering local communities and families through access to affordable homeownership, and maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability through its building practices and ReStores. The organization also partners with under served and Indigenous communities across Canada to help address housing needs.
Operating both nationally and internationally, Habitat for Humanity reflects Sonepar’s presence in communities and initiatives and we are proud to be able to partner with Habitat Canada to have a positive impact in the communities we live and work.
