With great sadness, Loblaw mourns the loss of Hilary Weston.   Her generosity and belief in the importance of community shaped her decades of public service, philanthropy, and remarkable career. As Ontario’s 26th Lieutenant Governor, and only the second woman to hold that post, she shone a light on the contributions of volunteers, women, and youth. And along with her late husband, W. Galen Weston, she was instrumental in building the businesses and charitable foundations that define the Weston group of companies today.    “Brilliant, brave, companionate, and beautiful, she brought a touch of magic to everything she did.” - Galen G. Weston   ************ C'est avec une grande tristesse que Loblaw annonce le décès de Hilary Weston.   Sa générosité et sa conviction profonde de l'importance de la communauté ont façonné ses nombreuses années de service public, de philanthropie et sa brillante carrière. En tant que 26e lieutenante-gouverneure de l'Ontario, et seulement la deuxième femme à occuper ce poste, elle a mis en lumière la contribution des bénévoles, des femmes et des jeunes. Avec son défunt mari, W. Galen Weston, elle a joué un rôle déterminant dans la création des entreprises et des fondations de bienfaisance qui ont fait de notre groupe ce qu'il est aujourd’hui.   « Brillante, courageuse, attentionnée et belle, elle apportait un peu de magie à tout ce qu'elle entreprenait. » - Galen G. Weston  

Today, we announced a powerful step forward in our renewable energy goals with the planned installation of Canada's largest rooftop solar system. This monumental 7.5 MW array, covering over 435,000 square feet – the equivalent of more than seven football fields – will be located at our East Gwillimbury Distribution Centre. Expected to be operational in 2026, this system will generate up to 25% of the DC's total electricity, powering our operations with clean, on-site energy. This installation clearly demonstrates our commitment to taking decisive action as we work to achieve net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040 for our enterprise operating footprint.
