Making a positive impact in the Indigenous communities on whose traditional territories we operate, is a key component of our ongoing commitment to good community relations. As part of this work, we were pleased to launch our first Annual Backpack Donation Drive.
Parkland staff responded to our call for new backpacks and essential school supplies to be provided to local First Nations. An impressive 247 backpacks were donated to Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations to help their students start the school year well-equipped.
Education is a powerful tool. We were pleased to help ensure these students had the foundational resources needed to thrive and are so appreciative of our staff who lent their support to this important initiative.
