Community Involvement
Our employees demonstrate their community spirit year-round by participating in local, regional, and national community events and charitable organizations.
By volunteering their efforts, emotions, time and resources they improve lives and create better communities for us all to live in. Our Calgary employees are actively involved in:
Corporate Challenge
“Calgary Corporate Challenge is a volunteer-driven, Olympic-style event developed by Calgary’s business community for Calgary’s business community. Each September, employees, managers and volunteers throughout Calgary’s business community participate in a variety of fun-filled athletic and non-athletic events. The results of this good-natured competition promote the interaction of co-workers, build morale and instil company pride, provide physical and mental conditioning for employees and enhance employer/employee relations.
With over 200 companies, 1 600 volunteers and over
18 000 athletes, Calgary Corporate Challenge has grown to become the largest annual amateur athletic event in North America. As a non-profit organization, the Calgary Corporate Challenge has raised over $2 million for local Calgary charities in the past eight years and is continuously striving to increase the contribution to the community.”
