Canadian Tire Money
Anyone that lives in Canada, knows of (and maybe uses) Canadian Tire money. Alongside hockey and maple syrup, Canadian Tire Money is a classic Canadian tradition, that is a nationally recognized rewards program – yet I know few people that actually redeem their CTM for anything these days.
In fact, the inspiration for this post, was my acceptance of more CTM from a colleague, while knowing I will probably never actually use it. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a day at Canadian Tire as much as the next person, but the same reason I have approximately 100 reusable canvas bags, I generally forget to bring my CTM with me.
It got me thinking… can you donate your Canadian Tire Money?
I was happy to find out that you can not only donate your Canadian Tire Money, but many local schools, hospitals, spca’s and other charitable organizations love receiving a wad of colourful Canadian Tire denominations. And while the connection between social services like animal shelters, schools and Canadian Tire is not immediately obvious, it exists. These initiatives and institutions can use Canadian Tire money for much needed supplies and services provided by CT.
So dip in to that stash of Canadian Tire Money, you know you’ll never use, and donate it to a local cause today. Simply perform a quick web search for “donate Canadian Tire Money” and discover which local organizations accept this kind of donation.
