building a strong, resilient, sustainable and vibrant community now and for future generations,” said Paul Gardner, board chair, SEF. “WBCF, as a community builder, will play a key role in uniting, strengthening and promoting quality of life in the region.” The $3 million includes a $1 million investment plus matching donations up to $500,000 per year for the next four years. “We’re thrilled the Suncor Energy Foundation is one of our first founding partners. This generous gift puts us well on the path to achieving our $10 million fundraising target,” said Maureen Cormier Jackson, WBCF Chair. "Everyone in this region will benefit from this donation for generations to come. Unlike other charities in the region, we invest the donations we receive and provide grants to eligible community organizations using the interest earned from those investments. We call it ‘investing today for a stronger tomorrow’.” Fort Hills mining trucks (Photo credit- Suncor Energy Inc.) JULY 2018 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA 9
