Purpose and Progress

Husky’s Community Investment Program strengthens relationships through support for non-profit health, education and community initiatives.

The Company’s $1 million donation in the wake of damaging floods in southern Alberta immediately assisted with flood response and relief efforts, and later helped communities with recovery and rebuilding initiatives. Employees were encouraged to assist where they could.

As part of Husky’s 75th anniversary in 2013, the Company made donations to a number of organizations which do outstanding work in their communities.

Health and Wellness

Highlights include:

  • A $500,000 contribution to the Kahkiyow Keykanow Elders Care Home in Fort Chipewyan, so that elders can continue to live in their community.
  • A $75,000 donation to the Lloydminster Regional Health Foundation for Lifeline pediatric and neonatal crash cart upgrades.
  • A $50,000 pledge to the Children’s Music Therapy Program at Hull Services, using music to reach abused and neglected children.

Supporting Education

Highlights include:

  • A $1.125 million partnership with the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST) in Saskatoon to help address a critical shortage of power engineers in the area. Support was provided directly to students via scholarships and employment, along with a donation to improve the Institute’s Power Engineering Technology Lab, building on a similar donation at Lakeland College in Lloydminster.
  • A $225,000 donation to the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission in Newfoundland and Labrador, to make first aid and CPR training part of the curriculum in the province’s high schools.

Community

Highlights include:

  • A $1 million donation to assist with immediate response, recovery and rebuilding efforts in southern Alberta after a damaging flood.
  • A $50,000 contribution to the Hussar and District Hall, towards a gathering place for the community.
Delivering Results: Husky’s employees supported almost 30 non-profit agencies in 2013 through the employee giving program, building stronger communities.
