COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP


Creating capacity and bettering lives in our communities.

We believe in supporting local non-profit and charitable organizations that serve the most vulnerable in our communities. Through Lead Well, our social vision, we encourage our employees to volunteer with local organizations in the social sector to help create a future where everyone can flourish.

 

TOGETHER WE CAN END CANCER

We are proud to share a three-year partnership with the BC Cancer Foundation with a total investment of $300,000. 

We know this is near and dear to our employees, members, and communities when 1 in 2 British Columbians are impacted by cancer—this alarming statistic tells us the need is immense and the time to act is now.

Our partnership will involve employee engagement and activation for several of BCCF's initiatives throughout the year as well as dedicated funds going towards the greatest areas of need across the province to help advance research and innovative care.
