Exclusive Raptor’s championship display

To celebrate Canada’s first ever NBA championship, Habitat HM’s Burlington ReStore is featuring a Raptors display, showcasing the moment Canada’s team became NBA champions.

As this was a highly momentous event for Canadians, making the display a hot item, we’ve made its sale into a bidding auction. With a starting bid of $200, the auction will be open for bidding until July 4. We’ll then get in touch with the successful bidder and arrange for delivery (Canada-wide).

What it means to be Canadian: helping our neighbours

Canadians are often stereotyped as being extremely friendly and at times over-polite. To some extent, this holds true.

We pride ourselves on our inclusivity and our desire to support one another. With Habitat HM’s ReStores, supporting your fellow Canadians has never been easier.

Our ReStores allow you to help out your neighbours simply by making a purchase. Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it?

The funds from your purchase are used directly to cover our not-for-profit costs of administration. With these expenses off our plate, we can use every cent donated to Habitat HM for our build projects. So by purchasing with our ReStores, you’re allowing us to maximize our impact in building affordable housing right here within our community.

When you by a wooden Canadian flag through our ReStore, you’re pushing a local family one step closer to attaining their dream of owning a home. Celebrate what makes us truly Canadian and give back to your community this Canada Day.
