Convenience Week is a nationwide celebration of the essential role convenience stores and their employees play in communities across Canada. It’s our chance to say thank you to the frontline staff who keep shelves stocked, doors open, and Canadians moving — 7 days a week.
But it’s more than recognition. It’s also a time to give back. In partnership with Make-A-Wish® Canada, Convenience Week raises funds to help grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. By celebrating local convenience store teams, we’re also helping to support the futures of kids and families who need it most.

Happy Convenience Store Week! Thank you to all the hardworking convenience store employees, owners and operators across Ontario for serving your communities, supporting local jobs and going above and beyond every day.

Stopped in at the Esso Go Store in Charlottetown yesterday before hitting the road to grab some snacks and say thank you to workers here during Convenience Week. With over 188,000 convenience store workers across the country selling over $55 billion annually, they are at the heart of many of our communities and our one stop shop while we're on the move. But high Liberal taxes and inflation have forced 20% of these local shops to shut down since 2016. Conservatives will fight to slash spending and lower taxes to make this a country that works for the people who do the work.

This week, we join communities across Ontario in celebrating Convenience Store Week, from August 25th to August 29th! Convenience stores are more than just quick-stop shops, they are community hubs that support our daily lives. Shout-out to local champions Kings Milk Variety in Bowmanville, owned by Thas and Sathy, and the Enniskillen General Store in Courtice, Bowmanville, and Enniskillen, owned by TJ and Jessie Sheehan. This week, join us in thanking the people behind the counter and visit your local convenience store. #conveniencestoreweek #onpoli
