A few of the events and causes we have supported are:
Taste of Edmonton
Taste of Edmonton has become a summer tradition within our city that celebrates the unique culinary delights our community has to offer.
Pleasing the forever-loyal downtown crowd and other food enthusiasts who head into the heart of the city to sample these scrumptious dishes, Taste of Edmonton has been able to grow into the largest outdoor food festival and concert series in Canada.
Edmonton Heritage Festival
Heritagefest is a collection of Alberta Based cultural groups that come together, annually, to share their history, song, dance, and food with the world. They supply all the songs, dance, crafts, and music.
Heritagefest is facilitated by the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association. It is overseen by its Board of Directors and managed by a small staff.
Edmonton Food Bank
As an affiliate member of Food Banks Canada, they are committed to the mantra: Relieving hunger today. Preventing hunger tomorrow.
They envision a community where hunger does not exist, where all citizens have access to an adequate and nutritious supply of food.
Edmonton's Food Bank acts mainly as a central warehouse, distributing food through over 300 agencies, churches, and food depots throughout the city.
World Partnership Walk
The World Partnership Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation Canada (AKFC), a non-profit international development agency working in Asia and Africa to find sustainable solutions to the complex problems causing global poverty.
100% of donations go to support programs that help transform lives in the developing world. When you walk, you join thousands of others who believe as you do in the cause of fighting global poverty.
ATCO EPIC
Our ATCO EPIC program is a grassroots initiative involving employee-led committees that plan, implement and administer workplace fundraising campaigns. The program combines fundraising events, auctions, friendly team competitions, and employee pledges. Altogether, the program supports more than 800 charitable and non-profit organizations around the world.
In 2020, our people raised $2.9 million for charities - bringing their total contributions since 2006 to nearly $47 million, alongside almost 250,000 volunteer hours over that same time period!
Grande Prairie Regional College - President's Ball
The annual GPRC President’s Ball is the College’s largest annual fundraising event. With collective donations over the past five years, this event has helped to raise over $480,000. This support directly impacts our students and their success.
