A two-way street Crosier Kilgour’s partners understand that they wouldn’t be where they are without recognizing that being members of a community is a two-way street. The company continuously gives back to the community in both direct and indirect ways: “We regularly make donations toward hospital projects or large institutions that we’re involved with,” Haney notes. Haney also identified examples of contributions the company makes to improve lives in the community: “We have a great deal of respect for the local work that is done by the United Way, and we hold an annual fundraising campaign in the office to emphasize the value and importance of contributing to such causes. The company matches individual employee donations and consistently sees nearly 100 percent participation from staff.” Derek notes that Crosier Kilgour’s corporate citizenship extends to providing opportunities for students of engineering: “In 2021, we started an endowment fund through the University of Manitoba’s Engineering Access Program (ENGAP), which provides opportunities for Indigenous students through the award of annual scholarships. We support that initiative and hope to see it result in a higher number of Indigenous people entering our field of practice.” THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
