MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Today, Morguard
Corporation ("Morguard") (TSX: MRC) announced that their National
Retail Program "OnePlanet," part of Sustainable Morguard, is
teaming up with Earth Rangers for the "Got Your Ears On" campaign.
This environmental awareness initiative will be promoted by
Morguard's 19 Canadian retail centres from August 23 – September 6,
2021, both online and in the shopping centres.
"Collaborating on this retail campaign demonstrates our
commitment to sustainability by helping to empower young people and
their families to take sustainable action," said Andrea Tushingham, Director, National Retail
Marketing. "By working with incredible organizations such as Earth
Rangers, we can raise awareness and further educate our communities
on the importance of protecting our environment."
Earth Rangers is a kids' conservation organization committed to
sustainable practices. The focus of this project is to instill
environmental knowledge, positivity, and confidence in kids ages
6-12 to take action. Parents and children will have access to a
handy guide with tangible, effective, and fun ways to turn
environmental concerns into sustainable action.
"Together with Morguard's retail team, we have a unique
opportunity to engage youth in environmental action," states
Tovah Barocas, President of Earth
Rangers. "We know kids across Canada are concerned about the future of the
planet. We need to put our ears on and listen, and ensure they are
equipped with the tools and knowledge to make a difference, and the
confidence to create change."
The "Got Your Ears On" initiative will include a contest to win
a $1,000 shopping spree and online
activities for the whole family. To support the initiative,
OnePlanet is also running a TikTok and Instagram campaign,
partnering with content creators to reach a large audience of
parents and their children.
