In recent weeks, the AGF Group Foundation and teams across the country have mobilized to support several important causes, once again demonstrating that social engagement is a core value at AGF.
A donation that changes two lives at once – Fundraiser for Alima
At headquarters, employees’ generosity provided four bins filled with food and baby supplies to Alima, the Perinatal Social Nutrition Center.
These donations will help provide personalized support to pregnant women in vulnerable situations and their babies, giving the next generation a better start in life.
Kitchener – Thanksgiving food drive for the Waterloo Food Bank
During this season of abundance and gratitude, the Kitchener team chose to share with those in need. Thanks to their Thanksgiving food drive, numerous donations were given to the Waterloo Food Bank to help local families.
A giving Halloween for UNICEF
In Ontario, the teams in Kitchener, Markham, and Scarborough celebrated Halloween in a fun and generous way with a “Spooktacular Halloween Potluck & Bake Sale”!
Between costumes, homemade dishes, and treats, the event raised funds for UNICEF, a global organization that advocates for children’s rights.
Mobilizing for 24h Tremblant
The Quebec business units went above and beyond to support the 24h Tremblant through a series of creative activities: “half-and-half” Halloween events, BINGO, hockey ticket draws, “Bring Your Pet to Work,” and even a collection of refundable cans at offices and plants. Every action helps support sick children and strengthens team spirit through acts of solidarity.
Pink October: United against breast cancer
Throughout October, the Quebec office mobilized for Pink October, a campaign dedicated to breast cancer awareness, lighting up the office in pink as a sign of solidarity and hope. The proceeds were donated to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.
Climb Up Toronto : We climbed for a cause!
The AGF Rebar team took on the CN Tower Climb Up for United Way including a contribution from AGF Group Foundation. These funds will support United Way’s community programs and help strengthen our local communities.
Ottawa – Bake sale in memory of a colleague
In Ottawa, employees organized a bake sale in memory of a colleague.
All funds raised were donated to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Canada’s leading and most innovative cardiovascular health center, dedicated to research, treatment, and prevention of heart disease.
These wonderful initiatives show how team spirit, social engagement, and generosity are part of AGF’s DNA. Altogether, including the Foundation’s matching contributions, nearly $15,000 has been distributed to the community.
Thank you to all our teams for their enthusiasm, creativity, and heart. Together, we make a real difference!
