Month: September 2022

Cancarb Limited is cooperating with The Town of Redcliff in a new legacy tree planting initiative.

A monetary contribution by Cancarb Limited will add 16 trees to Lions Park in Redcliff. Cancarb has also volunteered its employees to assist the Town in planting the trees on Thursday, Sept. 22, weather depending. The partnership will see 4 Mayday, 4 white ash, 4 elm, and 4 Hawthorn trees planted in the park alongside some of the oldest trees in the Town.

“Many of the trees at Lions Park are nearing the end of their life and it’s a perfect opportunity for us to make an environmental contribution to our community” says Peter Donnelly, President Cancarb. “Sustainability is core to our business. We are pleased to combine our social initiatives with the environmental responsibility of reducing our carbon footprint, and in turn, to beautify one of the parks in our area.”

Cancarb’s on-site Greenhouse continues to be a success thanks to the volunteer work of employees, retirees, and summer students. In 2022 thus far, Cancarb has been able to harvest approximately 100lbs of tomatoes to deliver to the Medicine Hat Food Bank Root Cellar Food and Wellness Hub. In the photo above, Cam and Jerimy deliver our most recent crop.

“The Root Cellar is a homegrown solution for sustainability. Our Food and Wellness Hub is a central location for all levels of society to connect, access resources and participate in the greater community through the power of local food.”
