Earth Hour is tomorrow. We hope you’ll join us and many of our stores, in showing your support for action on #ClimateChange by turning your lights off or down between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. tomorrow.

We’re customers too and local is important to us. That’s why finding that next great product is even sweeter when you’re supporting a business like Jakeman's Pure Maple Syrup in Beachville, ON, who heavily relied on the tourism industry pre-pandemic and needed to find a home for their pancake mix and maple syrup. Today, we’re proud to carry their products in over 280 of our stores across Ontario. ... Learn more about our relationship with Jakeman’s here: https://www.loblaw.ca/en/tony-and-jennifers-sweet-deal

Meet Neil Hetherington, CEO of the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto. Food Banks across the country have been continuing to work hard to provide resources to people in our communities and they need your help.

Some of the most needed items include canned meats and fish, peanut butter, dried or canne...d beans, dried pasta, sauces, rice, canned fruits and vegetables, personal care items, as well as monetary donations which are used by food banks to purchase fresh items like produce, milk and bread.

Displays of racism toward our colleagues and community at large, like the disturbingly aggressive one that recently occurred at our T&T store in Mississauga, are never acceptable and will not be tolerated. While we do not want to give this person’s hateful rant in response to being asked to wear a face mask more attention, we share it to show how proud we are of our colleagues, who worked to calmly deescalate the situation, even while being verbally and racially attacke...d. Not only is this person not welcome in our T&T stores anymore, he is not welcome in any of our 2,400 grocery stores or Shoppers Drug Mart locations either. We are committed to calling out racism and actively fighting against it when we see it.
