This award was created to recognize businesses that are active in their community, and give back whatever they can. This includes donations, time, and labour.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4443 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" src=\"https:\/\/knightplumbing.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/knight-giving-back-award.jpg\" alt=\"HomeStars-giving-back-award-2018\" width=\"520\" height=\"125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe in contributing to our community, especially a community that does so much for us,\u201d says Ryan Wandler, Vice-President of Knight Plumbing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that we would be recognized by a platform as large as HomeStars for our community involvement is amazing, and makes us even more appreciative that we\u2019re able to do what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Our Community Involvement in 2017<\/h2>\n<p>In 2017, Copperfield Elementary School didn\u2019t have a lot of the supplies it needed for its educational projects. We decided to give them a $5,000 donation to help buy the things they needed.<\/p>\n<p>This donation was able to be split among a variety of projects. The first was an agricultural project designed to teach children where their food comes from. We delivered the planters, soil, and seeds to the school in May, and even helped get everything set up. <a href=\"https:\/\/knightplumbing.ca\/blog\/knight-donates-help-elementary-school-kids-learn-food\/\">Learn more &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3145\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3145\" class=\"wp-image-3145 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/knightplumbing.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Knight_Donates_to_Copperfield_Elementary_Kids_Planting.jpg\" alt=\"Kids of Copperfield Elementary planting\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The kids of Copperfield Elementary help Ryan plant their new garden kits.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The second part of our donation took the form of brand new science textbooks, and musical chimes.
