The WBCF aims to provide long-term finan-
cial support for projects in the areas of so-
cial, health, environment, sport, arts, culture
and other worthwhile community endeavors.
A percentage of the invested income will be
granted each year to qualified recipients. The
Foundation was formally launched in Fort Mc-
Murray on June 8, 2017. The next phase of de-
velopment is to build the endowment fund so
the Foundation can begin granting to support
community needs.
"As we look back over the 50 years that our
company has operated in this area, we’re re-
minded of what it means to be part of build-
ing the community,” said Bruno Francoeur,
regional operations executive, Suncor. "Both
Suncor and Wood Buffalo have come a long
way, and as we’ve expanded operations this
community has grown and prospered with us.
When we face challenges, we come together
and support one another.”
