Longtime supplier of building material products for Fort McMuray, CertainTeed is now giving back to the community. Inspired by the recovery efforts from the 2016 wildfire CertainTeed wants to recognize those who have played a major role in the rebuild.
They have created the Fort McMurray’s Rebuild Heroes contest. Residents can nominate anyone who has went above and beyond to repaired and rebuild their home.
To kick off their campaign, CertainTeed has been travelling around to different construction sites in the community and handing out cooler bags filled with snacks to the construction works who have been working day in and day out to get residents back into their homes.
“We recognize the resilience and fortitude of Fort McMurray, after the terrible impact of the wildfires of May 2016, and that the rebuild is a massive effort,” said Wayne Edgecombe, Vice President Sales, CertainTeed Gypsum Canada.
“We want to take this opportunity to recognize and support the incredible community spirit to come back stronger than ever and recognize all the Rebuild Heroes that are bringing Fort McMurray Strong to life.”
These Rebuild Heroes include contractors, foreman, drywallers, plumbers and others that are working countless hours to build homes and/or complete repairs.
Nominations for heroes of the rebuild cam be made online from Oct. 4 till Nov. 3.
From there five heroes will be randomly selected from all the submissions and will each receive a $2,000 gift card. CertainTeed will also make a $2,000 contribution in each winner’s name to a local Fort McMurray charity of the winners choice.
CertainTeed’s Rebuild Hero winners will be announced on Nov. 9.
