Carmens Group

4 years of caring for the places we call home 🌎💚

This Earth Day, our team spent the afternoon at Lakeview doing our part to keep our community clean. It is a simple tradition that reflects something we truly believe in at Carmens Group, showing up for our environment and for each other.

Our CEO PJ Mercanti missed the photo as he leaned into the spirit of earth day and returned with two full bags of garbage and even a cooler. See the video to catch the moment.

Join us in making an impact. Grab a bag, head outside, and help keep your community beautiful.

Congratulations to our CEO PJ Mercanti and the entire HUPEG team, alongside Oak View Group, on being recognized as Tourism Champion of the Year at the Ontario Business Achievement Awards, hosted by the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce.

This recognition highlights the incredible work behind bringing TD Coliseum to life, a milestone investment that continues to shape Hamilton’s visitor economy and revitalize our downtown.

A well-deserved honour for visionary leadership and lasting community impact.

This Sunday, our CEO PJ Mercanti is taking on the 30km Around the Bay Road Race, turning a personal goal into something much bigger.

Alongside family, friends and colleagues, PJ is helping raise $100,000 in support of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation, a place that has cared for generations in our community, including PJ himself.

We are proud to stand behind this incredible effort and the impact it will have on patient care, research, and vital equipment needs at St. Joe’s.
