We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – our employees have the biggest hearts. While the pandemic created volunteering challenges due to social distancing and minimizing contacts, our employees still managed to up their game in 2021 to safely support causes and initiatives that are near and dear to them. In fact, a total of 707.63 hours of paid volunteer time were claimed by our employees, which equals out to 98.28 days! Check out a few initiatives we proudly supported in 2021!

Shawn Osier, Advice Centre Manager of Regina and Area, was pleased to present a $5,000 cheque to Aria Ramdeo, Executive Director for Heritage Community Gardens project in Regina. These funds went to help with the community pantry of fresh produce, where community members will be able to come and get fresh vegetables to harvest.

1 Challenging employees in the name of charity During the month of June, a few employees from our St. Mary’s Advice Centre challenged the folks at City Centre to a friendly competition to see who could collect the most hygiene products for the Food Bank. They broke up into teams and together, they were able to donate over 700 products to people in need!

4 Bringing the joy of the unknown to you
We joined our friends from Zak’s Building, Tree Canada and the Town of Hague to help plant more than 180 trees in Hague! Beautiful weather, great company and helping the environment – we’d say that’s a pretty great way to spend a volunteer day.
