Home Hardware and Beauti-Tone Sponsor LivABLE Environment Conference Focusing on Accessibility & Wellness

Home Hardware and Beauti-Tone were proud to sponsor the LivABLE Environment Conference, a three-day virtual event that explores residential design and how accessibility, living in place and wellness in the home can be enhanced.

The conference, which ran from October 28-30, brings people together from different areas of construction, design, renovation, adult living, wellness and more, to collectively share ideas and strategies moving into the future.

“We are proud to collaborate with the LivABLE Conference Environment on the creation of barrier free living and accessibility in residential homes,” said Kevin Macnab, President and Chief Executive Officer, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “It’s important that as Canadians, we are part of the global conversation around ways we can improve residential design and make a lasting impact within our industry.”

Home Hardware and Beauti-Tone were two of 30 companies participating in the three-day virtual trade event where industry experts from all over the world inspire global change in accessible living. Attendees included developers, architects, designers, builders, occupational therapists and real estate.

“This is the first time an event like this has been created and held on a global platform, and it will be remarkable to see the impact that it will have, especially for the North American market,” said Linda Kafka Manager of LivAble Environment. “These incredible and dedicated companies are pioneers, striving to have a direct impact on the health and wellness of people living in their communities around the world. When we take care of others and work together, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish.”
