We care about our community

Parkland strives to be actively involved in supporting the communities that support our businesses across Canada. We actively seek opportunities that increase access to essential services to the people living outside large cities. Our key areas of focus include health and well-being, family support, and special needs.

$100,000 over 3 years	We have partnered with the Alberta Cancer Foundation as the Official Fuel Provider of the Digital Mammography Screening Program. In a three-year agreement, we will provide gasoline and diesel fuel to power the Digital Mammography Screening Program, which includes two mobile screening trailers equipped with high quality mammography screening devices. These trailers provide services to women in approximately 105 rural communities across Alberta to aid in the early detection of breast cancer.
$20,000 Providing fuel to families using Ronald McDonald House	Parkland is a proud sponsor of the development and operating costs of the much needed new Central Alberta Ronald McDonald House, opening in the fall of 2011. Approximately 11,000 children from rural communities stay at the Red Deer Hospital each year. The House will provide a ‘home away from home’ for them and their families. Fas Gas Plus will be donating fuel to families who must travel long distances to stay at the house while their children receive medical care.
$35,000 in 2010	Parkland matched the funds raised by employees to make a donation of more than $35,000 to the United Way of Central Alberta in 2010. United Way’s mission is to improve lives and build communities by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action, and is primarily focused on poverty, homelessness and families or individuals in need. In 2009, United Way Canada raised more than $487 million, which was reinvested into community programs and services.
$500,000 over 5 years	Parkland also made donations to the Red Deer College (RDC) Building Communities Through Learning campaign and has an ongoing RDC Parkland Fuel Corporation Endowment in support of three scholarships in the transportation industry programs.
