Cancarb Limited is cooperating with The Town of Redcliff in a new legacy tree planting initiative.

A monetary contribution by Cancarb Limited will add 16 trees to Lions Park in Redcliff. Cancarb has also volunteered its employees to assist the Town in planting the trees on Thursday, Sept. 22, weather depending. The partnership will see 4 Mayday, 4 white ash, 4 elm, and 4 Hawthorn trees planted in the park alongside some of the oldest trees in the Town.

“Many of the trees at Lions Park are nearing the end of their life and it’s a perfect opportunity for us to make an environmental contribution to our community” says Peter Donnelly, President Cancarb. “Sustainability is core to our business. We are pleased to combine our social initiatives with the environmental responsibility of reducing our carbon footprint, and in turn, to beautify one of the parks in our area.”

Cancarb’s on-site Greenhouse continues to be a success thanks to the volunteer work of employees, retirees, and summer students. In 2022 thus far, Cancarb has been able to harvest approximately 100lbs of tomatoes to deliver to the Medicine Hat Food Bank Root Cellar Food and Wellness Hub. In the photo above, Cam and Jerimy deliver our most recent crop.

“The Root Cellar is a homegrown solution for sustainability. Our Food and Wellness Hub is a central location for all levels of society to connect, access resources and participate in the greater community through the power of local food.”

Cancarb is excited to announce a partnership with our local library, the Medicine Hat Public Library, to sponsor 900 library cards for members of the community!

Cancarb employees gathered first aid supplies to send as part of an emergency aid shipment to Ukraine. They donated a total of 138 pounds of medical aid which will be shipped to Warsaw and transported across the Poland-Ukraine border.

For Cancarb, the commitment to support our community members in need by helping the Medicine Hat and District Food Bank continues in an exciting way.  This is a project we are passionate about proud of. Share the Journey with us here:

Cancarb staff and retirees have been busy giving back to the Medicine Hat community in a big way these past several months. And this is only the beginning… Check it out

Our unit 6 project Safety Coordinator, Tim Price, had a thought… If we save every bottle and can each worker on the Unit 6 expansion project uses over the course of this construction, we would be able to make a donation to a great local organization. So, we did just that. 

After taking up a 16-month collection of recycled bottles and cans, plus an additional donation from some of our contracting partners and ourselves, we were able to present the Medicine Hat Skateboard Association with a $2500 cheque.  The MHSA is an important organization in our community, promoting outdoor activity and a positive group environment for kids of all ages. It also holds a special place in Tim’s heart!

After 3 years of planning, 16 months of constructions, 53 individual contracting partners, and the hard work and dedication of our team, Cancarb is proud of the safe and successful completion of our 6^th Unit.
