In 2021, three young friends from Edmonton—Nick, Cole, and Ransford ("Randy")—found themselves unemployed due to COVID-19. Facing bills and uncertain government support, they used their initiative to start "The Neighbourhood Heroes," offering odd jobs around the community.
With the slogan "Saving the community one family at a time," they tackled any task, prioritizing community needs.
Over time, they focused on lawn care and landscaping, realizing the importance of green spaces. They honed their skills, obtained licenses, and researched eco-friendly practices, adopting the slogan "The Grass is Greener on Your Side."
In three years, The Neighbourhood Heroes transformed nearly 1,000 lawns in and around Edmonton, creating jobs for students like themselves.
Today, the team includes Rowland, a computer science student who earned a stake in the company. The Neighbourhood Heroes continue to beautify neighbourhoods, support their community, and inspire future generations.
