❤️ A huge thank you to the team at Canadian Natural's Horizon and Albian sites for a successful workplace campaign!

Led by Campaign Chair Janice Young and Rael Brown, dedicated employee volunteers, and partners like Clean Harbours, this campaign brought employees together in support of a stronger, more connected Wood Buffalo.

From Taco in a Bag lunches at both Horizon and Albian, to BBQs, a 50/50 draw, a prize draw, and a strong push for employee ePledges, the team found creative and engaging ways to support United Way Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo while strengthening their workplace culture.

One of the most impactful ways employees chose to support the campaign was through ePledges and payroll deductions. Small contributions throughout the year add up to meaningful support for local programs and services. Best of all, donations stay local, helping individuals and families across the Wood Buffalo region. Through Canadian Natural's matching program, employee contributions go even further, increasing the impact of every dollar invested in our community.

Through their generosity and commitment, Canadian Natural employees are helping build a stronger, more connected region and ensuring local agencies can continue supporting those who need them most.

Thank you for being United in Action, Canadian Natural! ❤

🌟 A huge thank you to Enbridge for an incredible workplace campaign in support of United Way Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo!

Over the past month, employees came together through a silent auction at five BBQs hosted at the Cheecham and Athabasca terminals, and the Gregoire regional office. Their efforts are a great example of what it means to be United in Action. When employees rally around a shared cause, they help create lasting change for local people and families.

A special shoutout to Georgina Cluett for leading this year's campaign and other employee volunteers like Kristy Addison helping make it such a success! 👏

Workplace campaigns are about more than fundraising. They bring colleagues together, strengthen community connections, and show the incredible impact that's possible when people give where they live.

Stay tuned for the official cheque presentation! We're getting even closer to our community campaign goal, and we couldn't do it without dedicated partners like Enbridge. ❤️

🌿🍓 We're proud to see Claire Beaulieu-Antoine, a Knowledge Keeper with our partner agency, Nistawoyou Association Friendship Centre, featured by CBC News sharing Indigenous land-based teachings with youth and seniors in our region.

Through guided walks and hands-on learning, participants learn about edible berries, medicinal plants, traditional harvesting practices, and the deep connection between people, culture, and the land. These teachings help preserve Indigenous knowledge and ensure it is shared with future generations.

Thank you to Jamie Malbeuf and CBC News for highlighting this important work in our community.
