Since its inception, the health and safety of our employees has been our number one priority. After being deemed an essential business AyA implemented a comprehensive range of measures to further protect our employees during this pandemic. Along with supporting our employees, AyA has always been a strong supporter of artists and makers.
We have been helping local artists in the community by donating our wood offcuts and having them designed and transformed into beautiful cutting boards, trays and bowls that we buy back from the artists to give as gifts to our customers. This project not only supports small local businesses but also contributes to our waste reduction and recycling programs.

In order to help our customers make their dollar stretch further we have extended our 20% Off Kitchen Sale, our biggest annual sale. We are now offering a Design From Home program via video chat so our customers can work with our designers to design their new dream kitchen from the comfort and safety of their own home.
This program has been well received by our customers as it allows them to plan their new kitchen without leaving home, support a local Canadian Made manufacturer and have AyA store the kitchen free of charge until they are comfortable proceeding with installation.
Throughout the years AyA has always been dedicated to supporting our community. Whether its raising money for great causes such as Ride For Heart, Feed Ontario, Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club, numerous Homeless Shelters or collecting Toys for Sick Kids Hospital during our annual toy drive, helping those in need has always been one of our core values.
To support our community during these times, AyA will be donating 5% of our revenue from every renovated or remodelled kitchen, sold by participating AyA locations in the GTA, to the Daily Bread Food Bank. Together we can help ease the burden for families in need.
Since AyA Kitchens first opened its doors in 2001, we have been dedicated to producing and delivering exceptional quality cabinetry and customer service. We are excited about re-opening our showrooms to the public when it is safe to do so, but in the meantime our designers are available and ready to connect via video chat consultation. Although times are uncertain, we remain positive and encouraged at the new ways we are evolving and adapting to serve our employees, customers and community.
