Enriching Community Life
Every year, ATCO employees organize and carry out workplace fundraising campaigns throughout the province. The monies pledged by our employees and raised through these campaigns are matched by ATCO, increasing the impact on an employee's own donation to their chosen human health and welfare charity. By absorbing the administration costs, ATCO ensures that 100% of employee donations are directly focused to the charities of their choice.
Working today to secure a healthy future for all Albertans is the philosophy behind the relationships ATCO has developed over many decades of serving our communities.
For example, at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, ATCO has built creative spaces for young patients, their siblings and families to play.
ATCO’s donation transformed ordinary hospital spaces into places that inspire hope and healing by infusing them with colour, light and activities.
ATCO Group also funded a Movement Assessment Centre at the hospital, the only one of its kind in Western Canada. The Centre provides ongoing clinical support to kids who suffer from injuries or disorders that affect their movement.
Since 2000, ATCO employees have additionally contributed more than $50,000 to support child health programs, specialized equipment and advanced pediatric research and education at the new and old Children’s hospital. ATCO’s volunteer spirit helped in other ways, assisting with other fundraising events.
