Staples Canada launches ‘We Love Teachers’ contest to recognize inspiring educators

From now until June 15, nominate a teacher in your community that’s making an impact

Richmond Hill, ON, May 12, 2022 – Teachers inspire the future and Staples Canada has launched the We Love Teachers contest to thank educators for everything that they do. Parents, students and fellow educators are encouraged to nominate a teacher in their community that’s making an impact.

The We Love Teachers contest is accepting nominations from now until June 15. Eight teachers from across Canada will be selected for a chance to win a $1,000 Staples gift card for their classroom or to upgrade any technology and $250 cash for self-care.

“It has been another difficult and trying year for educators and as the school year comes to an end, we want to give back to communities by recognizing teachers who are making an impact,” said David Boone, CEO, Staples Canada. “At Staples Canada, we love teachers, they are pillars in our community and always go above and beyond for their students. This contest is our way to help recognize their efforts to inspire and nurture education every day.”
