Community Involvement

The community is very important to us at Sanctuary Paint. We want to give back to and support the community who supports us every day.

Currently, we are helping to revitalize the Twin Elms Rugby Park and we are donating the paint needed for that project.  We have spent many hours there at Rugby tournaments with our kids and recently watched the Russia vs Canada game! We have some great memories!

Some of the key community programs we have supported are:
