Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor joins forces with Canadian Country Music star, Charlie Major and The Holmes Foundation

TORONTO--Mike Holmes, star of Holmes on Homes and Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor is proud to announce that Canadian country music star Charlie Major will be supporting The Holmes Foundation on his latest tour for his new CD release “Shadows and Light”.
Charlie Major and his manager Woody Bowles had been looking for a cause for Charlie to support. Charlie was especially interested in something that had domestic impact for Canadians—and he found it close to home. To his manager’s home, that is. Woody was the victim of a renovation nightmare—the kind The Holmes Foundation was founded to help put an end to.
The mission of The Holmes Foundation is to ensure that all residential renovation and construction in Canada is done right–the first time.
The Holmes Foundation will do this by partnering with schools, businesses and governments to raise the profile and reputation of all skilled trades in Canada, using Mike Holmes' reputation to encourage young people to pursue careers in the skilled trades and to encourage employers to hire them. In addition, The Holmes Foundation provides information on careers in the building trades and will offer scholarships and bursaries to students pursuing training in these trades.
Charlie Major has always been known as a working man's artist and this foundation—in support of the skilled trades and the working man--is a perfect fit. Major says “I am proud to be associated with a homegrown organization like as The Holmes Foundation and with Mike Holmes-- whose mission is to further the educational opportunities for young people across this great land.”
Charlie's first event with Mike Holmes was the annual Lean On Me Day, August 5, 2007 where Major performed prior to a seminar which Holmes gave at the Beacon Hill Home Depot in Calgary, AB. On September 11, Mike and Charlie were co-presenters at the Canadian Country Music Awards Show. Their skit has been called one of the highlights of the evening.
Major will be doing interviews about The Holmes Foundation, and encouraging people to donate to the organization during his shows. Proceeds from the sale, at his shows, of his latest CD, “Shadows and Light” will be donated to the Foundation. CDs are also available on the Holmes On Holmes website, www.holmesonhomes.com.
