Hometown Proud
Whether it’s the local hockey team, the friendly people, or the number of Tim Hortons locations per capita, there are many reasons to love our communities. We asked employees from across the company what makes them proud of where they live. Here’s what they said.
“How diverse and multicultural my city is – from international food festivals to heritage celebrations; everybody is very friendly
and welcoming.”
Mya Imtiaz, advisor loyalty, sales & marketing Mississauga, Ont.
“What makes me most proud about living in Denver is that it’s so diverse in people and cultures. There are tons of restaurants, and cultural, charity and sporting events to enjoy.”
Valerie Andres, manager, U.S. pensions & bene ts Denver, Colo.
“How young people have more opportunities here than anywhere else and can reach their goals.”
James Richards, mine operator, Base Plant Fort McMurray, Alta.
“The area where I live is really beautiful and diverse. By the ocean you have white sandy beaches, and just a few kilometers away are the mountains. This makes the area great for all kinds of activities, like cycling, hiking, and watersports, which I really enjoy.”
Martin Sandve, team leader, joint venture and partnership Stavanger, Norway
"A great climate and relaxed vibe makes for a pretty incredible combination."
Garth Ross, coordinator, capacity optimization, Calgary Nanaimo, B.C.
“My community has the options of a large city but the feel of a small town community and, believe it or not, Expedia.com has rated it as one of the 34 most breathtaking places in North America to travel. I’m proud to say that’s my home.”
Alana Butler, building services coordinator, Firebag Red Deer, Alta.
“I am proud to live in Colorado because
of the enormous community of outdoor enthusiasts and weather that makes it easy to stay active year-round. Plus, with one of the highest numbers of microbreweries per capita in the States, it is the perfect place
to grab a locally-made craft beer and enjoy the 300 days of sunshine.”
Katie Marshall, senior advisor, operations Commerce City, Colo.
