ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT’S NOTE
Spring into action
Spring is just around the corner! Snow is melting, temperatures are climbing and we have more daylight hours to enjoy. There are many signs of life after the harshness of winter, and we are all starting to feel more energized, hopeful and happier.
This time of year, many of us turn our sights to home renovation projects. In this issue, we catch up with Canadian icon Mike Holmes and learn more about his home improvement business. Costco offers Mike Holmes Inspections as part of our member services offerings. You can learn more about getting peace of mind and exclusive Costco member pricing for your Mike Holmes Inspections package; all you need to do is go to Costco.ca and click on “Services.”
March is also a good time to dust winter off your car and get it ready for the warmer months ahead. This issue explores the pros and cons of all-season tires. From tires and batteries to cleaning solutions and accessories, Costco has lots of great items to get your vehicle road-trip ready.
Any time of year is the right time to take note of what our vendors are doing to be good stewards of the planet. I encourage you to read the article on our vendor Sony’s sustainable operations and how the company is working on being part of the solution.
Whether it is a fun road trip or a much-needed home renovation project, now is the time to enjoy all of spring’s pleasures.
Coming next issue
We take a look at plant hardiness zones to help members get the best results from their gardens.
