As Southern Ontario’s only certified B Corporation brewery, High Park Brewery in Toronto has always made giving back to community an integral part of their company. Celebrating their fifth year of business, High Park’s dedication to their community is noteworthy, and they’re proud to help out even in these uncertain times.

As a certified BCorp, High Park must meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability. It took two years for High Park to obtain certification, and this commitment includes donating two per cent of gross sales to worthy causes annually.

High Park hosts regular events and fundraisers and supports numerous local charitable programs. They annually participate in The Princess Margaret Ride to Conquer Cancer and last year their Cycl’hops Team raised more than $50,000, with all proceeds going to the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto.
