2019 is a milestone year for our team – we’re celebrating 30 years as one of Canada’s leading staffing firms. We’re focusing on giving back – to you, our clients, and the communities we serve.
$30K for 30 years is an initiative where we invited our clients to submit nominations for a charity of their choosing to receive one of thirty (30) $1,000 donations OR one (1) $30,000 donation. The $60,000 earmarked for this campaign is in addition to the on-going support our firm gives to Christie Lake Kids, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and the Royal Ottawa, among others, on an annual basis.
We received an overwhelming response to this initiative. As such we have decided to announce the first round of selected charities in July, and the next round in the Fall.
Congratulations to the first round of charities selected for a $1,000 donation:
