Sustainability Perspectives

  • “We are thrilled with the contribution and want to acknowledge TELUS as one of our Health Heroes; donors who share our passion to meet the challenges of healthcare by working with community stakeholders to educate, inspire and facilitate a healthier community. Thanks for caring, sharing and making a difference!”

    – Donna Dixson, Director, Community Relations, Chilliwack General Hospital Foundation

  • “TELUS is a shining example of the compassion, caring, and commitment needed to create change in our community. They are leaders and stewards of their industry, and their compassion is visible in their commitment to community enhancement and positive change. TELUS’ generous gift will extend beyond the walls of our health facilities and out into the community.”

    – Dan Fouts, Chairman of the Board, Northern Lights Health Foundation

  • “For many families, the financial difficulties caused by a cancer diagnosis constitute a primary justification for keeping the accommodation costs at Hôtellerie Omer-Brazeau as low as possible. The support of donors such as TELUS is essential in achieving this goal, and we wish to convey our warmest thanks to our loyal partner over these many years.”

    – Paul-André Lavoie, President, Association du cancer de l’Est du Québec

  • “We are very excited at the Medicine Hat and District Health Foundation to be entering into this partnership with TELUS. This gift will go a long way in raising money for local healthcare which is a huge benefit to our community. At the end of the day it's about connecting donor passions with identified healthcare needs to create healthier communities.”

    – Michael Dolan, Chair, Medicine Hat Health Foundation

  • “TELUS is a significant friend to Canuck Place who supports us year-round with everything from event sponsorship for our signature Gift of Time Gala to technical support — and from telehealth to our telethon. TELUS employees and retirees donate hundreds of hours every year to ensure our success. In addition, employee giving is incredible and is matched dollar for dollar by TELUS. The creativity and generosity shown by the entire TELUS team will help us as we address the ever-increasing need for our services, particularly in the Fraser Valley region. This truly allows us to help the children embrace life.”

    – Filomena Nalewajek, Chief Executive Officer, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice

  • “TELUS is the only company, of its size and percentage of team members covered by a collective agreement, in Canada to achieve an engagement result of 70 per cent within their highest zone.”

    – Aon Hewitt

  • “The TELUS Communications BRAVO program is a consistent RPI award winner because it sets the long-term standard for all other employee recognition programs. Every year they continue to make improvements that set the bar a little higher. This is an award they’ve worked hard to earn.”

    – Kevin Cronin, President Recognition Professionals International
