Spring Things is Canada’s newest and most exciting workplace campaign that calls on companies and passionate environmental champions to raise awareness and funds for WWF’s work to conserve nature, critical species and habitats.

The campaign, brought to you by WWF’s Living Planet @ Work championed by HP program, runs from February 23 until April 26 and consists of three activities to rally your colleagues around: Polar Bear Week, Canada Water Week and the 25th Annual CN Tower Climb!
Here are 5 reasons why your company and colleagues should participate in Spring Things this year:

1) You’ll have the chance to give back to important WWF conservation work like research that will ultimately protect Arctic ecosystems and people. Last year, employees rallied around Spring Things and helped raise $400,000 for WWF.
