Brunswick Pipeline employees volunteer and raise money to support worthy organizations in the communities where we live and work. Brunswick Pipeline and its employees particularly focus their efforts on improving the lives of disadvantaged children and youth.
With so many worthy causes in need of assistance, how does Brunswick Pipeline decide which organizations and programs to help?
- We contribute primarily to causes that improve the lives of disadvantaged children and youth in our communities, and sustainable environment and safety-related endeavours.
- We believe in contributing where we can truly make a difference – both with our time and our financial resources.
- We choose causes where we believe our impact will be a source of pride for our employees.
- We give where we live. We want our employees to see the differences our contributions are making in the communities in which we live and work.
In the past, Brunswick Pipeline made contributions to organizations that help improve the lives of children in our communities including, for example, P.R.O. Kids, First Steps Housing Inc., Crescent Valley Community Centre Co-ordinator, St. George summer cadet program, Musquash Community Centre Summer Programs, etc.
Please note: Brunswick Pipeline allocated the majority of this budget to long-term commitments. These include:
- Crescent Valley Community
