- Michaels Canada is helping teachers and families save this back-to-school season with special promotions and an increased educator discount, boosting our everyday 15% off to 20%, from August 14 through September 10.

Michaels Canada is fueling the joy of creativity and celebration this back-to-school season with more ways for teachers and families to save while making the new school year feel creative, personal, and fun.
With an increased Teacher Discount, deep back-to-school promotions across classroom décor, art supplies, planners and more, trend-forward essentials for classrooms and residences, and new ways to customize school gear, Michaels is helping Canadians head back to school in style without breaking the bank.
“Back-to-school is an opportunity for a fresh start, and we want to help teachers and students make it their own,” said Derek Schweitzer, SVP Stores at Michaels Canada. “According to a study released this past May by the Retail Council of Canada, only 19% of parents expect to complete their shopping in a single trip—proving just how fragmented this season can be. Whether it’s creating a classroom that sparks joy, personalizing a backpack, or finding new ways to be creative, Michaels has the inspiration, assortment, and value to help Canadians start the year feeling excited, prepared, and supported every step of the way.”
