The Community Company

This is such a creative way at tackling a big issue. All of the products are creative, high quality and local! All for such a groovy cause. :)

Liberty Co’s partnership with The Community Company has been incredible. From the first interaction with Justin via email in response to my initial inquiry, to receiving my digital design package, everything has been first class. Justin and Sarah are knowledgeable and talented, attentive to detail, thorough and truly committed to their clients. No wonder I am over the moon with new designs for my business stationery. Can’t wait to see them in print! I look forward to working with Justin and Sarah again as well as recommending them to others. In fact, I hope this is only just the beginning.

High-quality cards that I gave to friends and family which they loved. Not only did they love the cards - but they loved that they came from an organization that strives to make the community a better place. Excited to see what CC offers next.

Their charitable endeavours are something to aspire to! The way they uplift our community members is amazing to see, and I'm always excited to see what products they come out with next. Their tote bags are amazing quality too!!

Ordered some holiday cards and they came super quickly. they were higher quality than expected and I'm sure are going to be a big hit. They included little handwritten notes and thank yous which I wasn't expecting. The Community Company is what businesses should be all about. Great products and they support the community around them.

"I highly recommend that any organization looking to create a social enterprise hire The Community Company. They're excellent communicators, have exceptional project management skills and are able to lead your organization step by step through the process. Working with them accelerated our launch by 24 months and resulted in a concise and powerful brand that clearly communicates what we are trying to do i.e. building community through better food."

I first found out about The Community Company at a market. They work with community members to create products that really stand out! I still use my tote bag three years later. We are now working with them to create a social enterprise for the non-profit I work for and we are feeling really excited about the possibilities! I would recommend the company to anyone looking to make an impact in a sustainable way.

My daughter Susie, who is a member of J.O.E. (Jobs, Opportunities , Enterprise), thoroughly enjoyed being part of the J.O.E. Postcard Project, with Justin Chan and The Community Company, in the spring/summer of 2021. The Re-Connecting Ontario Postcard Project, provided Susie with an opportunity to co-create a Postcard, that was designed to spread happiness and joy to all people in the community, who were feeling socially isolated, due to the many restrictions imposed by the Global Pandemic. Susie loves hearts and, was inspired by the words in a song that she learned in Elementary School..."Friends are like flowers, beautiful flowers. Friends are like flowers in the garden of life." The lyrics of this song helped Susie visualize an image of a heart surrounded by beautiful flowers. And, since all her friends are unique in their own special way, Susie wanted all of her flowers to be different, bright colours with emojie smiley faces. Susie hoped that this image on her postcard, with the message "You are Beautiful", inscripted in the centre of her heart design, would help to bring smiles to everyone who received her postcard. Justin promoted the development of Susie's Postcard and worked diligently to co-ordinate zoom sessions, with the other three J.O.E. Collaborators, to launch the Re-Connecting Ontario Postcard Project in the community, in the spring/summer of 2021. He directly involved Susie and the other J.O.E. Collaborators, with the K-W News Reporters, to share their experiences in designing their postcards. What an amazing learning opportunity this was for each of the J.O.E. Collaborators! In addition, Justin provided the four J.O.E. Collaborators with a box of the postcard each of them created, to distribute to a business of their choice in the Guelph Community. Susie shared her box of Postcards with The Elliott Community, where she has been volunteering for over 10 years, so that it could be given to the residents she supported, to help brighten their day and bring smiles to their faces. To further promote the Postcard Project in the Guelph Community, Justin organized with the Guelph Public Library, a plan to distribute the four Collaborator Postcards, to all of the libraries in Guelph, with the intent that each week in the month of August, a different Postcard would be given to each patron, along with their library sign-out materials. Susie was super thrilled to see that her "You are Beautiful" Postcard was distributed during the second week of August. Through the use of social media and direct distribution of the J.O.E. Collaborators' Postcards in the Guelph Community, all of the four Collaborator Postcards, were highlighted. The Project culminated with a photo of the four J.O.E. Collaborators, proudly holding the Postcard they created, featured on the front page of the August 12th edition of the Guelph Mercury Tribune. Justin, is to be highly commended for the fantastic job he did, promoting the Re-Connecting Ontario Postcard Project, through social media and direct distribution of the postcards, in our local community. This initiative generated tremendous social impact, brightening the spirits and bringing joy and happiness to many people in Guelph and surrounding communities, who were feeling socially isolated during the global pandemic. For Susie, being involved in this project, was a fantastic learning opportunity, that boosted her self-esteem and increased her self confidence. She was very proud that her Postcard helped to spread happiness and joy, to so many lonely and depressed people, during the pandemic. It is truly an experience that Susie will never forget! Thank you Justin, for providing Susie with this enlightening experience.
