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.

Join the Celebration

  • Visit your local convenience store

  • Donate to Make-A-Wish® Canada

  • Share your story using #ConvenienceWeek and #MakingCommunitiesStronger

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.
