Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving that has become a global movement where we all come together to give back to the community. Every act of generosity counts no matter what it is. It could be giving a compliment, helping a stranger, lending a pen to your coworker, giving your seat to someone on a crowded bus, or helping those who are less fortunate.
We are proud to be a BC owned and operated company, and as part of our Giving Tuesday initiative we are supporting the local communities where we live and work. We have donated $34,420 to the charities below.
This year, our offices across BC are sponsors of many local charities and organizations:
-
