Sport has the power to unite families, communities, and the nation as a whole. Access to organized sports allows Canadians to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and reach their full potential.
We’ve formed partnerships with many of Canada’s most influential sports organizations to encourage healthy living and teamwork, and promote more equality and diversity in sport.

CTC’s significance to the communities we serve is measured by what we do and how we come together in times of crisis. When the unexpected happens, from flooding, to forest fires, to extreme weather, we’re proud to help communities across Canada recover.
When disaster strikes in Canada, we aim to provide financial support as swiftly as possible. Canadian Tire has been a proud partner of the Canadian Red Cross for decades, providing funding to benefit Canadians in times of crisis.

Canadian Tire is supported by a passionate Associate Dealer network that is always looking to support their communities across the country in meaningful ways. Every Canadian Tire location is owned and operated by a Dealer living in the community they serve. When we give at the retail level, we’re able to make a real difference in the lives of Canadians.
