e for a Tree and Tree Canada

• As part of our partnership with Tree Canada and our ongoing e-for-a-tree campaign, RBC Wealth Management Canada planted trees for 22,888 households in 2020 to thank our clients for switching to electronic statements. This campaign continues and for every household that switches from paper to electronic statements we are committed to planting a tree in 2021.

 

Reforest London and the Million Tree Challenge

• Our branch made a local contribution to ReForest London this year. This is in addition to the firm’s campaign above. ReForest London is a local non-profit with a goal to plant or encourage others to plant one million trees in the London area. To date they have planted, or registered that others have planted, 450,000 trees.
• You can be part of the Million Tree Challenge. By simply planting a tree and going to www.milliontrees.ca you can register and have your trees counted toward the total. Alternatively, donations are welcomed
• Reforest London also organizes planting days as well as workshops and hikes.
