First, some of the Foundation&rsquo;s ambassadors and friends brainstormed on the best ways to achieve our objectives. After some discussion, Daniel Matte, Islam Khan, Sylvain Boudreault, Jo&euml;lle Meloche and I came up with a plan for the week. Information either emailed or included with pay stubs, special desktop wallpaper for the week, daily mailings of factsheets about various aspects of the Foundation, production of eye-catching placemats, participation by the Foundation&rsquo;s ambassadors as well as Board members and managers from the various organizations we support: these were the activities we used to raise awareness of our Foundation. The week culminated with mini-gatherings at each business unit to highlight local charitable initiatives carried out in the past 12 months and acknowledge employees who stood out for their community involvement.<\/p>\n<p>Judging by the comments I received, the most effective initiative was the factsheet that illustrated how the organizations use the funds the Foundation raises. Many of my colleagues were greatly impressed by the photos of the activities, as well as comments and words of appreciation by the managers of these organizations. Some of them wrote to tell me how proud they felt to be part of a company that places human values at the forefront.<\/p>\n<p>During this week, I did a tour of the five rebar divisions in Ontario. Everywhere I went, I was warmly received, by Mohammed, Islam, Roxanne, Amber, Lindsay, Nadia, Maxime, Sam, Philip, Dave and their team members. Many thanks for your cordial welcome and for making time for the AGF Group Foundation in your already busy week.<\/p>\n<p>We thank all those who bring our Foundation to life&mdash;the ambassadors, the Board members and the people who take part in our activities. You make all the difference.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width:800px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvent_Markham_C_T-4.jpg\" style=\"height:112px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvent_Dietrich-4.jpg\" style=\"height:150px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvent_Albrecht-4.jpg\" style=\"height:150px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvent_Scarborough_C_T-4.jpg\" style=\"height:150px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF &#8211; C&amp;T (Markham)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF &#8211; Rebar (Dietrich Division)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF &#8211; Rebar (Albrecht Division)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF &#8211; C&amp;T (Scarborough)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvent_Ottawa_2016-4.jpg\" style=\"height:200px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvenement_Longueuil-4.jpg\" style=\"height:150px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MicroEvent_Winsafe-4.jpg\" style=\"height:149px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Photo_Napperons_a_la_cafeteria-4.jpg\" style=\"height:200px; width:200px\" title=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF Steel (Ottawa Division)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF Steel (Longueuil)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">Winsafe<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mirco_Evenement_HydroMobile-4.jpg\" style=\"height:173px; width:800px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">Hydro Mobile (L&#8217;Assomption)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Mirco_Evenement_ATR-4.jpg\" style=\"height:242px; width:800px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px; font-style:italic\">AGF Steel (ATR Division)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-1955.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Un poco m&aacute;s de variedad y de creatividad este a&ntilde;o <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Segundo a&ntilde;o, segundo intento, segunda oportunidad de llegar al coraz&oacute;n de los empleados del Grupo AGF con nuestra Semana de la Fundaci&oacute;n.<\/p>\n<p>Del 5 al 9 de diciembre, mis esfuerzos y los de los embajadores de la Fundaci&oacute;n se dedicaron a dar a conocer m&aacute;s la misi&oacute;n de la Fundaci&oacute;n entre los empleados de Grupo AGF y a agradecer y a poner de relieve a los empleados que hicieron una diferencia por su implicaci&oacute;n social, ya sea por medio de la fundaci&oacute;n o no.<\/p>\n<p>Las actividades propuestas este a&ntilde;o para llegar a estos fines fueron un poco m&aacute;s variadas y creativas que las del a&ntilde;o pasado. Para empezar, algunos embajadores y amigos de la Fundaci&oacute;n reflexionaron sobre la mejor manera de llegar a nuestros objetivos. Despu&eacute;s de algunas pl&aacute;ticas, Daniel Matte, Islam Khan, Sylvain Boudreault, Jo&euml;lle Meloche y yo decidimos el men&uacute; de la semana. Informaci&oacute;n enviada por correo electr&oacute;nico, enviada en las fichas de n&oacute;mina, un fondo de pantalla especial durante la semana, env&iacute;os diarios de fichas informativas sobre los diferentes aspectos de la Fundaci&oacute;n, la producci&oacute;n de atractivos mantelitos, la participaci&oacute;n no solo de los embajadores, sino tambi&eacute;n de los miembros del consejo de administraci&oacute;n de la Fundaci&oacute;n y de los diferentes administradores de los organismos que apoyamos, he ah&iacute; las acciones que creamos para hacer brillar a la Fundaci&oacute;n Grupo AGF durante esta semana. Todo culmin&oacute; con peque&ntilde;as reuniones en cada unidad de negocios para destacar las actividades caritativas locales emprendidas durante los &uacute;ltimos doce meses y para valorizar a las personas que se destacan por su implicaci&oacute;n social.<\/p>\n<p>Por los comentarios recibidos, creo que la acci&oacute;n que tuvo el mayor impacto fue la ficha de informaci&oacute;n que ilustr&oacute; la manera en la que los organismos utilizaron el dinero que recibieron de la Fundaci&oacute;n. Las fotograf&iacute;as de las actividades, al igual que los comentarios y los agradecimientos de los administradores de estos organismos, marcaron profundamente la imaginaci&oacute;n de varios de mis colegas. Varios me escribieron para hablarme de su emoci&oacute;n, de su orgullo por formar parte de una empresa en la que el valor humano est&aacute; en primer plano.<\/p>\n<p>Por mi parte, hice un recorrido por las cinco diferentes unidades de acero de refuerzo en Ontario. Cada vez, fui recibida c&aacute;lidamente por Mohammed, Islam, Roxanne, Amber, Lindsay, Nadia, Maxime, Sam, Philip, Dave y todos los miembros de sus equipos. Gracias por su recibimiento y por haber hecho un lugar para la Fundaci&oacute;n Grupo AGF en una semana tan ocupada.<\/p>\n<p>A todos los que le dan vida a esta bella Fundaci&oacute;n, embajadores, miembros del consejo de administraci&oacute;n y todos los que participan en nuestras actividades: &iexcl;Gracias!
