We’re honoured to pay our successes forward by participating in meaningful ways in the communities where our employees live and work. We proudly support more than 200 organizations across Canada through local sponsorship, volunteering, investment and employee-initiated giving. We’ve created a workplace where employees are encouraged to give back, donating their valuable time and talent to organizations about which they’re passionate through our Pay it Forward Day program.
