Our Sports Sponsorship Program is a way we give back to the communities we live and work within and around. By supporting amateur grass-root athletics, the goal is to ensure that more people have access to sports and recreation and the personal development opportunities that they bring. Employees can nominate teams and/or associations that they feel would benefit from a community sponsorship by filling out a form that can be supplied by Human Resources Administrator, Nicole Stewart. Simply contact her at [email protected]
