Encana encourages each employee to make a difference in their community through our annual giving campaign, matching gifts and employee volunteer programs.

Introduced in 2008, the volunteer program allows employees and their immediate families to apply for grants based on the number of hours they volunteer with a non-profit or charitable organization.

To kick off the program we established Share Your Heart Day to celebrate employees and their families participating in volunteer activities in their communities. In 2008, families participated in activities such as a community clean up in Drumheller, Alberta, fixing bikes for kids at the Southern Alberta Ronald McDonald House, painting the Boys and Girls Club in Calgary, Alberta, and planting trees in Denver, Colorado.
