"I Envision... a portal that provides real-time, interactive communications between Retail Stores and Home Office, allowing for improved overall performance and customer experience” Demetri Sophianopoulos, Project Manager, Retail Systems
Canadian Tire Corporation is made up of five distinct, yet interrelated businesses:
Canadian Tire Retail and its Associate Dealers together form one of Canada's best-known and most successful retailers, with more than 475 stores from coast to coast. Canadian Tire offers customers a large selection of national and retail brands through three 'stores' under one roof - automotive parts, accessories and service; sports and leisure products; and home products. www.canadiantire.ca offers Canadians the opportunity to shop online and is among the country's top three busiest e-Commerce sites.
In keeping with their organization’s enterprise standards, Canadian Tire needed to migrate their Store Communications applications, originally built on Microsoft SharePoint 2003 and CMS 2002, to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. Envision IT was contracted to migrate the existing applications and develop additional content and functionality to support it. The Open House Portal was developed to become the primary channel of communication between Home Office and the Canadian Tire Retail stores.
Previously, communication was achieved through a number of processes and systems, the most significant of which was paper based communication distributed physically several times a week. The Open House Portal is expected to lead to the elimination of millions of pieces of paper sent to the stores annually providing financial and environmental savings on printing and distribution.
Delivery of the Canadian Tire Open House Portal Project had three key components:
Envision IT leveraged the out-of-the box functionality of SharePoint as much as possible in developing the Open House Portal.
SharePoint provided a platform that allowed us to quickly bring a complex, mission critical application to market.
Envision IT won the Silver Medal for the Best Green Solution in the 2009 CDN Channel Elite Awards for the Canadian Tire Open House Portal Solution.
Following the successful launch of this solution, Peter Carson, President of Envision IT and Caroline Hogwood, VP, Store Solutions for Canadian Tire Corporation were invited by IT World Canada to participate in a roundtable discussion on collaboration, social networking, and the experiences and business impact of implementing Microsoft collaboration solutions.

Canada tires are a very important part of a car because they are the only part of the car that comes into contact with the road. Every movement of the driver, whether it is turning the steering wheel or braking, is transmitted to the road through the wheels.
So your car's performance will most likely be determined by the tires you ride.
There are many tire factors that affect the behavior of a car. For this reason, the price and appearance of a tire should not be your top priority when buying tires from TirePlanet. Below is a list of additional factors to consider when buying wheels.
Choosing the wrong type and size of tires in Canada can really hurt you. That is why it is important to know the size and type of wheels your car needs. You can find this information on the side of your current tires or in your owner's manual. You can search the web by filling in your car model, year and make. Tire type and size are also listed in the owner's manual.
Another important characteristic is the speed rating. The higher the speed index, the more heat the tire can dissipate. If you don't drive long distances, choose wheels with a lower speed rating.
Don't forget to check the load rating. This tells you the load capacity of a particular tire and is written on the side of the tire. Make sure you buy one with a high load capacity.
Once you have determined that your tires are wearing out and need replacing, the next thing to think about is where to buy a replacement. There are many options; You can purchase them from your local retailer or online stores.
Drivers are encouraged to purchase Canada wheels from local retailers because there will be no additional shipping charges. Their prices are also reasonable and they advise their customers on the best tires to buy. If you choose online stores, learn more about the store. Read their reviews and find out the total cost of the purchase.
The roads you drive on matter a lot. Tires for driving on asphalt are different from those that drive on city roads.
Considering what you need from a tire and what you want tires to do for you, don't oversell or buy more than you need. Wheels will cost you for no reason.
When buying tires from Canada, you most likely want to save some money on the purchase and operation of wheels. One thing you should know before you go shopping for tires in Canada is that tires come with different fuel consumption (many car owners may not be aware of this as the correlation between tires and fuel consumption is not so obvious).
Choose good quality but also consider low fuel consumption. Also note that most tire manufacturers do not prioritize fuel economy. The best economy tires are the original tires that your car comes with. Choosing economical tires means long-term fuel savings for your vehicle.
There are many reasons why you might want to consider using used tires. The most obvious of these is the price factor.
Used tires online Canada are cheaper than new tires and they have their advantages and disadvantages. Most drivers buy new tires to make them last longer and better. If you decide to buy used tires, factors such as tread wear and year of manufacture must be taken into account.
As tires age, their expiration date approaches and it can be dangerous to drive on tires near the expiration date. Choose used tires with a recent date of manufacture. They should also be cheaper than new tyres, as that's the main reason you choose them anyway. Because if they cost the same, what's the point of buying used?
Tire price Canada is one of the most important factors to consider. In terms of pricing, tires fall into three categories: premium, mid-range and budget. Since Canada's premium tires are the result of months of research and development, they cost more. In addition, their quality, tread, materials and performance are undeniable.
Mid-price tires can still perform comparable, but material quality is not as good as premium tires.
Finally, while budget tires may offer a better price, you may have to sacrifice overall tire life.
It is extremely important to check the tire code printed on the sidewall of your Canadian tire before purchasing tires. Weight and speed, rim diameter and aspect ratio are defined by this code. Understanding this code will enable you to make more informed decisions when purchasing new tires in Canada.
The first three digits indicate the distance between the sidewalls (in millimeters). Then the ratio of height to weight of the tire is indicated by a two-digit number. After these numbers, you will often see the letter "R", which indicates a radical design, followed by a number indicating the diameter of the wheel. In addition, load index and tire speed index are also available.
Reading customer reviews before buying is easier than ever, and Canada tires are no exception. While it may not be as exciting as reading other reviews, doing some research before buying tires can help you get exactly what you want.
Learn more about how the tire can help save fuel, how long it lasts for other people, how much noise it makes, how well it handles, and if there are any known issues or perceived feedback.
Heavy weather tires are essential for car owners who live in areas with harsh weather conditions. Winter tires are designed to provide increased grip when driving on snowy and slippery roads. As a result, car owners should consider investing in weather-matched wheels to improve stability, grip and performance.
When evaluating tire prices, remember to consider the manufacturer's warranty. Most tires in Canada are covered by some form of manufacturer's warranty; make sure you know what your warranty covers and what doesn't. Surprisingly little coverage is offered by many warranties. Worth paying a little more for a tire with a good warranty if you can find one.
com Car tires need to be serviced regularly. The best brands require a lot of attention because maintaining a high level over a long period of time requires caution. Consult a garage to check your tires regularly in Canada. You should also make it a habit to check your tire pressure. In this case, the convenience and cost of maintenance are important considerations.
When buying tires in Canada, remember that your safety is paramount. While price will play a significant role in your final decision, always do your research to find the best deal.

Michelin North America organized the presentation of BFGoodrich non-studded winter tires in Canada, where they will appear on the market. The new BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI will replace the BFGoodrich Winter Slalom KSI. After a successful start in the Canadian market, the novelty may appear in other countries. In particular, the possibility of entering the American market is being considered, but preference is still given to Canadian consumers, because reliable winter tires are especially in demand in this country.
First of all, the company's management takes care of Canadian dealers, preferring to provide them with exclusive opportunities to sell new products.
BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI tires have a number of features. Thus, interlocking 3D sipes located in the shoulder areas increase tire stability in corners and improve grip on snow and ice. The new compound made it possible to make braking on wet roads more effective, while at the same time stable handling on dry and wet roads. These are, in many ways, mutually exclusive characteristics, because usually increasing grip on wet pavement leads to a deterioration in grip on snow.
The developers managed to find the optimal balance by increasing grip on all surfaces. This is especially important because drivers in Canada operate their tires only 20% of the time on snow, slush and ice, and the rest of the time they drive on wet or dry roads. The novelty has a directional tread pattern and an increased speed index - T. The high content of silica in the mixture made it possible to achieve stability in warm weather and maintain grip at low temperatures.
At the same time, due to the high density of the lamellas, the tire has more engagement edges, which has a positive effect on traction. Sawtooth groove edges increase traction on snow, deep grooves quickly evacuate water, repellents prevent stones from getting stuck, and a central rib enhances visibility. Alternating blocks of different sizes in the shoulder areas improve traction in deep snow.
The novelty is characterized by an affordable price. This is the middle price segment, which occupies almost a third of the entire Canadian market. Tires BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI are produced at the Nankang Chinese plant in Jiangsu, which allowed us to maintain democratic prices. In total, it is planned to release 38 tire sizes, which covers 77% of the Canadian market, but in the near future (already in August 2017) only 32 sizes will appear.
Representatives of the Canadian media were invited to the presentation of the novelty, who were able to personally test the sample.
During the test days, the air temperature in Ottawa ranged from -20 to +10, with occasional precipitation. The journalists got the opportunity to compare the BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSI with Yokohama, Toyo and Firestone tires on sedans and crossovers. The first was a test on a snow surface, provided that the electronic control systems of cars were turned off. Participants noted that under these conditions, the BFGoodrich tires were more predictable in terms of grip.
The second test was done on ice at about 30 km/h, where the BFGoodrich tires were able to regain traction faster. The third test allowed us to evaluate the quality of braking on ice. The participants noted that there was no subjective difference between the competitors, but the GPS data left no doubt that BFGoodrich stopped the car faster than Firestone. Thus, the novelty from Michelin during the tests proved to be good, which, combined with the promised affordable price, should be a guarantee of its success in the Canadian market.
