Enriching Community Life

Every year, ATCO employees organize and carry out workplace fundraising campaigns throughout the province. Through each campaign, employees donate to registered health and wellness organizations, charities in their community and through the ATCO Matching Program the company increases the impact of employee’s own charitable giving.

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 new Alberta Children’s Hospital, ATCO has built creative spaces to play for young patients, their siblings and families.

When the hospital opened in September, 2006 ATCO’s donation transformed ordinary hospital spaces into places that inspire hope and healing by infusing them with color, 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 such as Radiothon which raised $1.2 million last year.
