@Telus Day of Giving May 31st #GiveWhereWeLive
Here’s a message from an amazing brand doing awesome work:
On Saturday, May 31, the ninth annual TELUS Day of Giving happens across Canada. On this special day, TELUS team members and retirees will volunteer at the activity of their choice to make positive, heartfelt and lasting connections within the community.
What is the TELUS Day of Giving, you ask? TELUS is committed to building healthy, strong and sustainable communities by embracing a simple but powerful philosophy – “We Give Where We Live”. TELUS believes that to do well in business, they must also “do good” in the communities where we work and live. The TELUS Day of Giving is simply one way that TELUS team members and their families give back to the community.

TELUS believes that in order to do well in business, the company must do ‘good’ in the communities where it lives and serves and TELUS Day of Giving is just one way TELUS team members and their families give back to the community.
Fifteen thousand TELUS team members, including employees, retirees, family and friends, will participate in hundreds of volunteer activities across Canada. Team members across the country will use their heads, hearts and hands on May 31 to give where they live. We expect to give more than 45,000 volunteer hours to local communities across Canada as part of our collective team effort. In Quebec, 2,000 TELUS volunteers will participate in 85 activities in Montréal, Québec, Rimouski, Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, Carleton et Sept-Îles.
Since its inception in 2006, TELUS Day of Giving has mobilized more than 79,000 team members, retirees, family and friends to volunteer at over 2,150 TELUS-organized activities benefiting the communities where we live, work and serve.

The event, which is organized for L’Itinéraire’s newspaper carriers and participants in its social reintegration program, provides a hot meal to Montreal families and people in need.
TELUS volunteers will accompany visually impaired kids and teens aged 6 to 25 on a visit to La Ronde.
