Community Investment

Community is important to CEDA and our people. It’s where we live, where we do business, where we work and where we play.

We are committed to contributing to our communities by supporting healthy change and development.

We take pride in our interactions with our communities and desire to build and strengthen long-term relationships with local community members including local businesses, community organizations and Indigenous groups.

As a service provider, we know it’s important to both our employees and our clients that we positively contribute to our communities. We engage our employees to ensure our support is going to the causes that are most important to them.

As a result, we established CEDACares and our four pillars of giving.

CEDACares

The CEDACares Community Giving Program encourages CEDA and our employees to come together to make a difference.

CEDACares is built upon three categories of support:

Corporate Donations & Sponsorships

Building relationships with our charitable partners in the local communities.

Employee Initiatives

Supporting our employees in the charitable giving they do by promoting and contributing to their fundraisers.

Employee Volunteer Events

Our employees donating their time and skills to projects and events that build stronger local communities.


Partners in the Community

CEDA proudly supports the following:

Canadian Mental Health Association

CEDA has been a major sponsor of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). Through employee organized auctions, CEDA has proudly raised over $100,000 for the CMHA to support and improve positive mental health in all aspects of daily life. 

Canadian Red Cross

During the 2013 southern Alberta floods, CEDA supported the incredible efforts of the Canadian Red Cross. CEDA helped the people of Alberta by matching employee donations to the Canadian Red Cross, fundraising a total of $23,000. In 2016, CEDA supported the Red Cross again during the Fort McMurray Wildfires by pledging $50,000 with our employees raising an additional $9,500.
