USM GIVES BACK:  A COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

Since our inception, we have recognized the importance of being deeply connected to our community and supporting local organizations, schools, and initiatives.  From the very beginning, it has been a priority for us to give back to the community we serve, particularly to the youth and their families.  We firmly believe that our children represent the future, and helping them grow while creating opportunities for their development has always aligned with our core values.

Our commitment to the community was evident from day one, as we consistently supported local clubs, sports teams, schools across the district, and annual events.  Charities and sponsorships also became key components of our outreach.  Moreover, we've proudly taken on the role of a top-level sponsor for various municipal events, further strengthening our relationship with the community.

As United Soils Management grew, we realized that our efforts to give back needed to evolve into something long-lasting and impactful.  This led to the creation of our proudest achievements, Tiny Seedlings.  This initiative, designed specifically for children and their families, has become our legacy and a central part of our outreach.  Launched in early 2014, the free and fun program started as an online platform and has since blossomed into a beloved community favorite.  Over the years, we've hosted an array of exciting events and providing public and exclusive incentives for our "members only" participants.  Tiny Seedlings has now become a household name, providing memorable experiences for kids of all ages.

Some of our most popular events include:

  • Fire & Ice Extravaganza
  • Snow Much Fun Toboggan Party
  • Frost Fire Winter Carnival
  • Shamrock Skate
  • TS Tennis Clinic
  • Spring Bike Tune-Up
  • TS Earth Day
  • Annual Tree Planting Day
  • TS Intro to BMX Clinic
  • Dash for Diabetes Kids 1km
  • Annual Fishing Derby
  • Friday Night Flicks
  • WS Annual Firehall Open House
  • TS Hockey Night in Stouffville
  • Yoga for Moms
  • TikTok Party
  • Music of our lives
  • USM/Tiny Seedlings Music Series
  • TS Hand drumming clinic

In addition to organizing and hosting events, Tiny Seedlings has proudly partnered with various sports leagues, helping both amateur and elite athletes excel.  Our sponsorships extend beyond the sports arena, allowing us to develop deep-rooted partnerships across various sectors.  In 2020 we expanded our program and with the support of the municipality of East Gwillimbury, we branched out.  Although the majority of our activities are split between the two communities of Whitchurch Stouffville and East Gwillimbury, any child can participate.

Our regional partnerships also include collaborations with important organizations such as the Rose of Sharon, Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority, Markham-Stouffville Hospital, York Regional Police, APTUS, and Highway 11 Cruiser, among others.
