Charitable Outreach

15 Charitable outreach

As part of a community built on barn raising, we know the importance of helping your neighbours. Ensuring our growing community has the services it needs means taking a leading role in supporting charities and community groups.

More than $350,000 in total donations and sponsorships in 2024

We go beyond financial support and offer assistance through donations of time, expertise, and equipment to ensure we provide meaningful help to those who need it.

Our employee-led Charity Committee continued to positively impact the communities we serve. Our corporate fundraisers raised $3,000 for The Heart & Stroke Foundation and provided more than 2,000 meals to The Food Bank of Waterloo Region. We also continued our annual support of the United Way Waterloo Region Communities and the Region of Waterloo’s Holiday Family Program.

Our customers stepped up to make a difference through our eBilling Campaigns, donating $5,000 to The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth and $6,250 to oneROOF Youth Services.

Raising our visibility and profile means an active presence at community events across our service territory. Our employees selflessly volunteered their time to attend a myriad of events, including the City of Kitchener Public Works Open House and Wellesley’s Touch a Truck Event.

Empowering our communities means supporting the events that drive our local economy. We’re a proud sponsor of the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival. We have a long history of hanging holiday lights, banners, and decorations in the towns, villages, and cities encompassing our service territory.
