Community

Our employees rally around our annual United Way campaign to help provide widespread support in our communities.

We held our seventh annual United Way campaign in October 2024, a two-week event organized in offices from coast to coast with employees participating in fun and educational activities. The campaign brought in over $873,000 thanks to the generosity of employees, Board members and retirees. With the company's dollar-for-dollar match on contributions, we donated $1.74 million to support United Way centres across Canada.

The My Community Day program gives Wawanesa employees one paid day a year to volunteer for a charity, non-profit organization or community program important to them. When an employee participates in a full day of volunteering, they also receive a virtual $100 Community Impact Gift Card to donate to a charity or non-profit organization of their choice. We think giving our time to our communities is so important that we track usage of My Community Day on our company scorecard.

Climate change is an issue that impacts people in every community. We want to do more to be part of the solution.

The Wawanesa Climate Champions program exemplifies our commitment in action. We invest $2 million annually to support people and organizations working on the front lines to improve climate resiliency in communities across Canada.
