Building strong communities where we live, work and operate is important to all of us.
Whether it’s partnering with community groups, supporting local initiatives or encouraging our employees to get involved in local improvements, the goal is to build strong and vibrant communities across North America. Our Build Strong program provides valuable tools and resources to first responders, helps fund educational programs, supports important community needs and strengthens environmental stewardship and sustainability through local and regional investments.
Building a strong future together
When we build something, we do it with the future in mind. Whether it’s infrastructure to meet North America’s energy needs or a lasting relationship with a community, we are there.
It’s helped us become one of North American’s leading energy infrastructure companies, and allows us to leave a legacy we can be proud of, wherever we build.
In 2018, we invested more than $26.3 million in over 1660 initiatives across 744 communities.
Nourishing children’s potential
What is the key to a productive, active and positive day? Why, a healthy breakfast of course!
TransCanada has partnered with the Breakfast Club of Canada since 2014 to help provide students across Canada with nutritional meals to help fuel their days and energize their minds.
To date, this partnership has helped provide close to 500,000 breakfasts to more than 2,800 students in northern British Columbia. It’s also part of TransCanada’s Education Legacy Program for northern B.C., which looks for opportunities to build long-term community capacity through educational initiatives.
And last spring, TransCanada and the Coastal GasLink Project announced we’re adding two more communities into the program. The six communities within the region are: Vanderhoof, Terrace, Prince George, District of Port Edward, Fort Saint James and Smithers.
To celebrate this continued and expanded partnership into the 2018 school year, TransCanada employees served up breakfast to students at Ron Brent Elementary School in Prince George, B.C. Check out this video to get some local perspectives on what the Breakfast Club program means to them.
