Staples Canada

As Canada’s Working and Learning company, we’re proud of the important role we play in removing barriers to education for communities where we live and work. A back-to-school tradition returns to Staples Canada stores today with the launch of the annual Staples School Supply Drive in support of United Way Centraide Canada and Kiwanis International. Now in its 20th year, this fundraising initiative helps students from coast to coast overcome obstacles by ensuring they head back to the classroom with the supplies and support they need to succeed.    Customers shopping in-store from now until September 28 can support the Staples School Supply Drive by adding a donation to their purchases. One hundred per cent of the donations raised are allocated to one of Staples’ charitable partners and directly support students and families in that community.     Celebrating two decades of giving, this annual campaign has raised more than $17 million to date to support students across the country.   Join us in helping to support local students and schools in your community this year! Learn more at: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pbit.ly/43Z6lQb

At Staples, we know our people are our greatest strength — and this week, we came together to celebrate just that.   This week, associates gathered at our Richmond Hill office for a special event to foster connection, collaboration, and celebrate all we’ve accomplished so far this year as ONE TEAM.   We kicked off the day with the unveiling of our new refreshed ONE TEAM Gazebo — an outdoor space intentionally designed for connection, celebration, wellness, and quiet reflection. Whether it’s a team meeting, a mindfulness moment, or a peaceful break, this new space is a place for associates to pause, connect, and recharge.   The afternoon event was filled with energy and community — from music by a live DJ to delicious bites and refreshing drinks, courtesy of Andrew Peller Limited, it created the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and new connections. Thank you to all our associates who made this event special. Here’s to continuing to build a culture of connection and support — together.   #ONETEAM #TeamStaples  

Meet Laxmi Menon! We asked Laxmi what belonging means to her. "As a woman in leadership, I prioritize fostering a passion for continuous learning and creating a supportive environment where women feel safe to take risks without the fear of making mistakes. I believe focusing on growth and progress, rather than perfection, is key to success. With the right guidance and a learning mindset, I am confident that this approach leads to meaningful development and achievement."

Meet Shara Srikantharaj! We asked Shara what belonging means to him. "As a person of color and a first-generation immigrant, feeling included and heard is incredibly important to me. At Staples Canada, I have always felt valued and supported. The culture of inclusivity ensures that everyone, regardless of their background, has equal opportunities to grow and succeed. This commitment to diversity makes Staples Canada a truly special place to work."

We’re proud to share that Staples Canada has once again made the list of Top 100 Inspiring Workplaces in North America, placing in the Top 5 of all companies our size! As Canada’s Working and Learning Company, we’re committed to fostering a workplace where our teams feel motivated, supported, and inspired to work as ONE TEAM. This back-to-back recognition reflects the hard work, dedication and passion that our associates bring to work every day. It speaks to the inclusive culture we’ve built together — one where every voice is heard, every contribution matters, and people feel empowered to thrive. Thank you to all of our associates who make Staples Canada an inspiring place to work — year after year. #InspiringWorkplaces #Top100 #StaplesCanada

In partnership with Allstate, last week we announced the launch of Staples Trade-in by Allstate, a new program that allows Canadians to exchange their outdated electronics for Staples e-gift cards. This initiative aims to support families and students by making it easy to save money and reduce e-waste ahead of the back-to-school season.   Built for ease and flexibility, the program offers a fast and intuitive way to trade in smartphones, laptops and tablets. Customers simply answer a few questions online to receive an instant quote on their device’s condition. Once accepted, the trade-in value is issued as a Staples e-gift card – redeemable immediately in-store at any Staples location in Canada. Hardware can then be dropped off at the customer’s local Staples store or shipped directly to Allstate using a prepaid shipping label, making it easier than ever to turn old tech into instant value.   To learn more visit: staples.ca/trade-in Allstate Canada

At Staples, we’re dedicated to celebrating our associates who go above and beyond every day to support one another and our customers. To continue our Associate Appreciation Month events and wrap up June, associates at our Richmond Hill and Pendant offices enjoyed a well-deserved treat with ice cream truck visits that brought big smiles and even bigger moments of connection. From turning up the heat at our Associate Appreciation BBQs earlier this month to cooling off with some delectable ice cream flavours, this month was all about recognizing the people who make Staples such an incredible place to work. Thank you for all that you do! #AssociateAppreciation #ONETEAM

At Staples, we believe that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Throughout June, we proudly celebrated Pride Month with meaningful moments and engaging experiences that demonstrated our ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming and supportive workplace for all.   Led by our Pride@Staples Business Resource Group (BRG), this year’s initiatives embraced the BRG’s mission to create an inclusive environment that recognizes, educates, and celebrates the 2SLGBTQI+ community, fostering a workplace where every associate feels a sense of belonging and has a safe space to be their authentic self.   This Pride, we kicked off the month by raising the Pride Flag at our Richmond Hill and Pendant head office locations and proudly joined the Toronto Pride Parade —walking in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQI+ community.   We’re proud to stand with our associates and communities as we build a workplace where everyone belongs.   #YouBelongHere #StaplesCanada #PrideMonth #DiversityAndBelonging #InclusionMatters #2SLGBTQI

Meet Maggie Clark! We asked Maggie how Staples Canada fosters a sense of belonging particularly related to 2SLGBTQI+ experiences or allyship. "Being Co-Lead of the Pride @ Staples Business Resource Group (BRG) is profoundly meaningful to me. This inclusive community champions authenticity, encouraging each member to stay true to their heart while fostering a supportive environment. It provides excellent networking opportunities, connecting community members and allies alike, from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Through our meetings and events, we celebrate both our commonalities and our differences, enriching our understanding and appreciation of one another. The Pride @ Staples BRG exemplifies a commitment to inclusivity and unity, making it a cornerstone of my professional and personal growth."

At Staples Canada, we're committed to making a positive impact by promoting equity, preserving the environment, and supporting education. Through these efforts, we aim to create a better future for all.
