Canada Blooms is a not-for-profit organization. Proceeds from the annual Canada Blooms event are donated to community horticultural projects by our producing partners, The Garden Club of Toronto and Landscape Ontario.

After this year's event The City of Toronto, Canada Blooms and Procter’s Cartage Ltd. partnered to distribute 500 spring blooms and shrubs to seniors living at Fudger House, one of the City of Toronto’s long-term care homes. Flowers have also been made available to seniors’ facilities and programs including Belmont House, Fellowship Towers, Rekai Centre, Seniors Pride Network, Dixon Hall, Toronto Tamil Seniors Association, True Davidson Acres Meals on Wheels, Winchester Square and Home Makers and Nurses Services clients. In addition to repurposing the flowers, the City and Canada Blooms have partnered to save 40 trees from the show, which will be planted in City parks this spring.
