City of Charlottetown, McInnes Cooper Partner on Environmental Project

: July 21, 2014

McInnes Cooper, in partnership with the City of Charlottetown, is returning into the environment some of what it takes out. The Charlottetown office of the law firm has calculated the average amount of paper it uses in a year and is planting the equivalent in trees.

With the guidance from Charlottetown’s Parks and Recreation staff, 12 McInnes Cooper volunteers will plant approximately 70 trees at Victoria Park this afternoon (July 18).

“This is a great example of the private sector showing leadership and corporate responsibility,” said Charlottetown Mayor Clifford Lee. “By coming up with this project and working with our Parks and Recreation Department, McInnes Cooper is able to make a long-term impact on the City. They are leaving a legacy and should be commended for their efforts.”

As part of this Charlottetown project, the local office of McInnes Cooper has challenged its five other offices to also plant the equivalent number of trees needed to produce the amount of paper they use in a year.

“Volunteerism and environmental stewardship are core components of our Collective Social Responsibility initiative at McInnes Cooper,” said Gary Scales, Regional Team Leader of McInnes Cooper’s Charlottetown office. “We are always looking for ways to engage our members in projects that help minimize the firm’s environmental impact. When our law students Alexandra Dalton and Devin Coady brought this to our CSR committee to consider, we were impressed and totally supportive. They’ve done a tremendous job of leading this initiative locally and of challenging other offices to do the same. We’re really proud of what they’ve accomplished.”

The trees for this project were ordered from the J. Frank Gaudet Nursery and are all PEI native species. They are being planted in three locations throughout Victoria Park.

“We support McInnes Cooper’s initiative and the environmental stewardship they are demonstrating,” said Councillor Melissa Hilton, Chair of the Parks, Recreation and Leisure Activities Committee. “This project will have an ecological benefit as the trees that are planted will remove pollution from the air and add to our forest restoration efforts. There’s also the beautification aspect. Years from now, these trees will provide shade for the families enjoying the park.”

“Tree Planting 1” – Approximately 70 trees were planted in Victoria Park on Thursday afternoon as a result of an initiative of the Charlottetown office of McInnes Cooper. Gary Scales, Regional Team Leader of McInnes Cooper’s Charlottetown office; Beth Hoar, City of Charlottetown Parkland Conservationist; and Councillor Melissa Hilton, Chair of the City’s Parks Recreational and Leisure Activities Committee were on-hand to help during the planting event, which included 12 volunteers from McInnes Cooper.

“Tree Planting 2” – Volunteers from McInnes Cooper’s Charlottetown office and City of Charlottetown Parks and Recreation staff participated in a tree planting event at Victoria Park this week. Approximately 70 trees were planted to replace those that would have been cut down to make the amount of paper that the McInnes Cooper’s Charlottetown office estimated it uses in an average year.
