Giving to our communities is an important part of life at ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø. Our people are committed to supporting organizations and institutions in need â€� and it’s more than a desire to contribute, we believe it’s our responsibility to help and to play an active part in our communities across Canada.

The ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Foundation ("the Foundation") acts as a catalyst in the mobilization of ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø and its people in giving to their communities. More than providing an avenue for giving, the Foundation helps drive ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹Ù꿉۪s mission to be a socially-responsible and civic-minded organization and promotes a culture in which our people thrive personally and professionally.

1. Provide a framework to support collective giving, both monetary and time, among our people by:
  • Acting as a conduit for contributions from ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø and its people
  • Encouraging our people to contribute to their communities through monetary contributions, donated professional services, hours of voluntary services and other contributions.

2. Plan and monitor ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹Ù꿉۪s contributions to our communities by:

  • Providing input to ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹Ù꿉۪s annual business plan with specific targets and criteria for contributions, both monetary and non-monetary
  • Monitoring our performance

3. Celebrate the collective philanthropic efforts of ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø and its people by:

  • Communicating and profiling our collective efforts, progress and successes to all ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø people, and, as appropriate, to our clients and the public
  • Recognizing ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø people who have shown leadership in making a difference in our communities.
