Community Investment

Husky’s Community Investment program supports charitable organizations in the regions where the Company operates, building and strengthening relationships with its neighbours. Priority funding areas include education and training, health and wellness, and community-building initiatives.

Husky works with municipal, Aboriginal and business leaders to identify community needs, and with charitable organizations.

Employees are involved with local organizations and groups in their communities, helping to improve the quality of life for their neighbours.
