Staff community involvement
Vancity’s employees make their own direct contributions to their communities
through a range of activities that have raised more than $1.5 million over the
past 20 years.
Each year, employees submit their ideas for the company's annual staff fundraiser.
Between 2004 and 2006, employees raised over $210,000 for the Adoptive Families
Association of British Columbia through bake sales, barbeques, a mini-golf tournament,
a dunk-tank, book sales and potluck lunches. In 2005, our employees also worked
with our members to raise $335,501 for Oxfam Canada’s tsunami relief efforts.
Staff are also encouraged to volunteer at Vancity-sponsored events throughout
the year, including the Vancouver AIDS Walk, Dining Out for Life, and the annual
Commuter Challenge (over 90 percent of employees participate).
From local charities, to international campaigns, Vancity’s employees
step up. It’s all part of the Vancity’s team’s commitment
to invest back in our community, both locally and globally.
