PLANTING ROOTS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

This spring, Sutton real estate professionals across Canada are gifting Canadian red maple trees—as a symbol of growth, connection, and commitment to the future.

Whether planted outside a home or in a community space, each tree is a powerful gesture. Together, we’re leaving a legacy rooted in community and care for future generations.

Why Trees?

Trees don’t grow overnight. Neither do trust, relationships, or strong communities. 

But with steady, purposeful care, they flourish. Trees symbolize growth, resilience, and long-term thinking—values at the heart of who we are at Sutton.
 
Our objective is to plant red maple trees, the inspiration for our national flag, as a commitment to make our communities a better place to live, work, and play. 

As it takes root and flourishes, we hope it brings lasting beauty to your home and serves as a reminder of this special moment in your journey.

We've planted over 1,800 trees across Canadian communities. 

 

"The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

Nelson Henderson

MAKING A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE

Edited_TreeIllustration-02-1

Take the 1,800 red maples just planted:

As they mature, these trees will quietly become climate champions, each absorbing around 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. That adds up to 32.7 tonnes annually–the equivalent of taking 14 cars off the road or avoiding more than 82,000 kilometres of driving.

They’ll also become oxygen powerhouses, producing approximately 260 pounds of fresh air per tree each year. Combined, that’s enough to support the breathing needs of nearly 3,000 people–the size of a small Ontario town.

Come autumn, these trees will add a vibrant splash of colour–and a whole lot of leaves. Each fall, over 150 million leaves are expected to flutter down—offering neighbourhood kids the perfect chance to earn a few dollars raking them up, before diving into piles of crisp, red maple leaves for some classic seasonal fun.

Each tree is a living symbol of growth, connection, and our vision of making our communities better–values that we believe define Sutton and being Canadian.

A LEGACY THAT GROWS

As the maple trees mature, they’ll quietly transform the neighbourhoods around them

This small sapling is more than a gift—it’s a shared investment in the future. We can’t wait to see how it grows.
