A tireless builder and philanthropist: How Mike Holmes helps those in need

But Mike Holmes’ charity is not limited to home repairs. He also actively supports educational programs that help young people to become a builder or engineer. Every year, Holmes awards dozens of scholarships to talented children, as well as organizes practices and training events. He is deeply convinced that by investing in education, he invests in a better future for everyone.
When devastating wildfires raged in Fort McMurray in 2016, Mike Holmes promptly mobilized his crews and material resources to help rebuild the affected areas. And after Hurricane Maria hit the Caribbean Islands in 2017, he sent his team to help the locals.
Such an active and versatile charity work has earned Mike Holmes great respect and love from Canadians. He became the personification of strength, responsibility and caring – qualities that are so lacking in the modern world. Inspired by Holmes’ example, more and more people are joining the fight for affordable and high-quality housing for everyone. Thanks to such caring enthusiasts, the construction industry is becoming more humane and focused on helping those in need.
