ATCO donates $100,000 and creates a dedicated employer-matched
fund to support wildfire relief efforts.
CALGARY,
AB, May 31, 2023 /CNW/ - ATCO Ltd. (TSX: ACO.X) (TSX: ACO.Y)
– Today, ATCO announced
additional support to those affected by the devastating wildfires
that have been impacting communities the company serves in western
Canada. ATCO is making a $100,000 corporate donation to the Canadian Red
Cross 2023 Alberta Fire Appeals and the Northwestern Alberta Emergency Recovery Fund.
We have also established the ATCO
Family Fire Relief Program – a dedicated fund to assist
ATCO employees and their families
who have been affected by the fires.
"At ATCO, we believe in
standing together and supporting our team during times of
adversity," said Nancy Southern,
Chair and Chief Executive Officer of ATCO. "Through the ATCO Family Fire Relief Program, we aim to
provide crucial aid and relief to our colleagues affected by this
natural disaster."
Since the start of the fires, ATCO employees have been on the front lines of
the response, minimizing energy disruptions to communities and
protecting vital energy infrastructure.
The ATCO Family Fire Relief
Program will assist ATCO employees
and their families who have been affected by the fires due to
damage to homes or property. Many of these employees have also been
involved in ATCO's response
efforts to protect and restore service to the electricity and
natural gas system that our communities depend on. All pledges made
by employees in the month of June will be matched by ATCO, effectively doubling the impact of their
donations.
