Peak in the Community
Our Commitment to Giving Back
We're especially proud to work with our partner The Home Depot to support at-risk youth across Canada through The Home Depot Foundation.
PEAK is proud that Dan Kiatipis, Executive Vice President, serves on the Advisory Board of The Home Depot Canada Foundation. Through his leadership and commitment to community impact, Dan helps support the Foundation's mission to prevent and end youth homelessness across Canada.
His involvement reflects PEAK's long-standing dedication to giving back and strengthening the communities in which we live and work.
