The Thrifty Foods shopping experience is brought to life in store through the support and partnership of hundreds of local food producers in the community and the dedication of over 4,000 employees across 27 stores, offices, warehouses, and Thrifty Kitchens commissary. The foundational legacy of community support that Thrifty Foods was built on proudly continues on to this very day. This support is demonstrated through the continued support of the Victoria Hospitals Foundation as well as other programs such as the volunteer-supported Sendial shopping program for shut-ins , and the Smile Card Fundraising Program amongst many other projects and programs.

When you buy a lottery ticket, play online at PlayNow.com, or wager on your favourite sports team to win the championship, you are helping to support community initiatives across British Columbia. The Province of BC created BCLC 35 years ago with the purpose of giving back to British Columbia and helping communities grow. Lottery revenue helped fund Expo 86 and since then, $25 billion has been delivered to support essential services such as healthcare and education, local charities, and major events that have helped shape our province. The way BCLC conducts itself and does business matters. We are accountable to the Province and citizens of British Columbia. Whatever BCLC does, we do in the best interest of the people and the communities of British Columbia. We understand the importance of public confidence in our organization and the tens of thousands of people who provide our products and services. We are focused on building your trust through good corporate citizenship and our social responsibilities throughout every part of our business.
