There was a lot happening in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, between industry shutdowns and increasing unemployment rates, it was difficult for businesses to do social good. But that didn’t stop our Barrie, Ontario team from giving back to their community. By supplying the equipment needed for this project, our Barrie team helped the Make-a-Wish Canada® foundation build a Sport Court™ for a young teen called Ty, who had been battling leukemia within the Barrie community.

“This was an amazing project to be a part of and there was a great group of local suppliers that joined in.”

– Joe Dewar, Branch Manager Barrie, ON

 At Cooper we believe the future is local, and we were proud to work with other local suppliers to bring this project to fruition for a family within our community.

This project was managed by the Make-a-Wish Canada® foundation which approached Sport Court™ to make a Ty’s dream come to life. Read more about Ty’s story here.
