TORONTO — Since 1902, Quaker’s plant has been located on the shores of the Otonabee River in Peterborough, Ontario.

In a recent national survey commissioned by Quaker Canada, 93 per cent of Canadians report that it’s important for them to be perceived as a good neighbour. However, with 28 per cent of Canadians feeling a very strong sense of community within their neighbourhoods, there’s opportunity to reconnect with each other now more than ever. That’s why, this Canada Day, the Quaker brand is inviting Canadians across the country to join them in extending a welcome to their neighbours with a QUAKERborough Welcome Kit.

Canadians are encouraged to gift the care package to a fellow neighbour, which is filled with Quaker pantry items made by the team in Peterborough, Ontario and a limited-edition QUAKERborough crewneck made in collaboration with Canadian-made clothing brand, Province of Canada.

“Throughout the month of June, the Quaker team has been delivering our QUAKERborough Welcome Kits to new Peterborough residents in collaboration with the New Canadians Centre, but we know that a neighbourly gesture can transcend city limits and that warmth and kindness should have no boundaries,” said Logan Chambers, Senior Director of Marketing, PepsiCo Canada. “Places with great food, kind neighbours and a warm welcome exist all across Canada, and we’re motivated to inspire community connection and encourage Canadians to make a positive difference in someone’s day.”
