Our Community
BC Plant Health Care is grateful for the wonderful community that surrounds our business. We understand the positive social benefits of giving back to our local communities and charities that our staff value. We have a variety of company initiatives to show our gratitude and therefore create positive, meaningful outcomes for the beneficiaries, and our team.
There are a range of charities that we support locally, provincially, nationally, and internationally, as we believe giving back to those in need is essential to being an industry leader and business of choice for both clients and staff. We have given back by fundraising, volunteering, raising awareness, and donating to our valued charities and invite the participation of staff, friends and family members to contribute during these opportunities. Whether it be to the benefit of the environment, animals, or fellow citizens, it is rewarding to know we are making a difference.
BC Plant Health Care believes that continual education is the foundation for a strong workforce and society. The company uses events such as Party for the Planet to celebrate the beauty of our environment, educating the public on the importance and benefits of trees. In addition, the owners have created several BC Plant Health Care Endowed Awards across the country, one of which recognizes a student from the School of Horticulture, Kwantlen Polytechnic University for their dedication to their studies and efforts towards a career in Arboriculture.
Whether it’s volunteering our time, recognizing outstanding individuals, or partnering with a local foundation, the members of our BC Plant Health Care team are making positive contributions, strengthening our connections to our community, and showing that we care!
