Over the years, ATCO Gas employees have
raised millions of dollars for charities of their choice through ATCO EPIC.
Although health and welfare donations cannot be directed to a specific
community, the benefits from these programs can and do directly impact
citizens from Alberta communities.
Employees personally select
registered health and wellness organizations and charities to support their
communities.
Through the ATCO corporate
contribution, ATCO increases the overall financial impact.
In 2008, ATCO Gas and its
employees directed
almost $971,400
to charitable organizations
and community programs.

Our Volunteer Recognition
Fund is designed to increase the impact of our employees who volunteer
in their communities.
This fund is one way we
support our staff who give their time to improve the quality of life in
their community.
The Volunteer Recognition
Fund is similar to the charitable-giving program, however instead of
rewarding employee financial contributions, it rewards employee efforts.
The mechanics of the
program are simple: employees who have volunteered 50 hours or more in
the past year in their community are eligible for a $150 donation to the
registered charity of their choice.
Through the Volunteer
Recognition Fund, ATCO Gas and its employees directed $24,000 to
charities in 2008.
