At Sears Canada, we have been able to be a part of the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation which greatly helps the Nepalese people and their environment," added Mr. Rogers.
"The news of Sir Edmund's passing means a great loss for the world," said Zeke O'Connor, Founder and Executive Director of the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation. "Sir Edmund always appreciated the support of Sears Canada during our 35 years together, and spoke to me of his continued keen interest in our camping equipment program in a conversation I had with him just last week.
The good work that is being done through the Foundation with Sears as one of its key supporters will continue to make a positive contribution to the peaceful and hardworking Sherpas for whom Sir Edmund Hillary had much admiration and gratitude."
Sears Canada continues to sell camping gear bearing the Hillary name. As well as having made financial contributions over the years, the Company also supports the Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation's administrative requirements including the provision of office space, supplies, printing and telecommunication equipment, and human resource assistance.
