This week, we were thrilled to host an array of local 2SLGBTQI+ vendors at our Richmond Hill office for a vibrant pop-up shop. It was a day filled with colour, creativity, and community spirit.

While browsing the unique offerings, we were reminded of the importance of supporting our 2SLGBTQI+ businesses. These entrepreneurs bring a wealth of diversity and innovation to our economy, and it’s crucial that we champion their work not just during , but year-round.

The pop-up shop was more than just a marketplace; it was a celebration of the strength and resilience of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. Each purchase was a pledge of support to these incredible creators who overcome barriers every day to share their passions with the world.

Our fabulous host of an unforgettable afternoon of laughter and learning, wrapping up celebrations with fun and challenging Pride-themed trivia, both in-person and broadcast virtually for associates across Canada!

Drag is more than just glitter, sequins, and wigs – it’s a powerful form of self-expression, artistry and resilience. Drag queens and kings have been at the forefront of 2SLGBTQI+ visibility, and by embracing their authentic selves, they inspire others to do the same. Hosted by the Pride @ Staples Business Resource Group (BRG), this inclusive event brought together our associates from across the country to learn more about the history of Pride in Canada - and around the world - to educate and expand our knowledge about all members who make up this vibrant community.

At Staples Canada, we inspire our associates to work smarter, learn more and grow every day. We are a workplace that appreciates our team's passion and curiosity, celebrates their bright ideas, and values their unique experience. Jagraj Kalsi, a Fulfilment Centre Associate had the opportunity to showcase his talent through a passion project at the Staples head office:

"My supervisor asked about my hobbies and other interests during a development conversation, which indicated a great cultural practice, in hindsight. I have an Arts background and expressed my desire to continue pursuing this interest. That was all it took. My supervisor made it possible for me to create my first ‘wall art’ for one of the Staples’ facilities and then I went on to create similar works for three more Staples’ facilities.

In the true spirit of the Staples mantra , I was able to use my artistic flair and passion for painting, to give back to my organization in a pretty unique way, in addition to my day job. As a bonus, I was recognized for my contribution and featured in our company newsletter. Through this experience I witnessed our Staples values brought to life – We Care and We Are One Team!

We frequently hear phrases at Staples such as ‘Learn & Grow’ or ‘Make an Impact’. Not only did I draw a variety of lessons from this experience (like grasping the opportunity, the power of listening, etc.), but I also feel that I was able to make an impact by utilizing the skills at my disposal and adding value to my workplace. Glad to be a part of the Staples team".
