Partnering to Build Stronger Communities

The vast majority of our stakeholders believe that telecommunications companies have an important impact on the quality of life in Canadian communities*. Research shows that the essential service we provide is a major factor in this belief. We certainly do go to great lengths to ensure service availability, especially in times of need.

But we believe our responsibility goes further -- to help build strong, healthy, vibrant communities. Successful, connected communities supported by economic expansion, creativity and innovation. This belief is the foundation for a social vision we call "Connected to Communities", which drives all our decisions around community investment. It embraces not just our philanthropic work, but all our work. It spans our business role and our social role. It's about how we promote community development across Canada and invest in tomorrow by valuing today's youth. It's about supporting Aboriginal Peoples. It is how we want Canadians to think of us.
