Nova Chemicals donates big to United Way

Oct 31, 2019 | 7:00 PM

United Way Central Alberta would like to extend a huge Thank You to NOVA Chemicals’ employees who raised an astounding $716,565 during their 2019 United Way Central Alberta #UNIGNORABLE campaign.

The campaign includes NOVA Chemicals’ matching dollars (up to $5,000 per employee).

The company runs a successful month-long employee-led campaign by engaging a core group of volunteers to plan and organize the campaign and encourages their Leadership team to visibly support and encourage the campaign on site.

In the community, they are strong supporters of United Way Days of Caring^TM with 173 employees volunteering 1,232 hours to support 28 community agencies with a variety of tasks.

“NOVA Chemicals has been an unbelievable community partner with us for the past number of years. They’re truly focused on making a difference in the well-being of Central Albertan’s through their financial contributions along with many hours of volunteering they do.” said United Way Co-Chair Ron Sauve. “We’re so very thankful and proud to partner with them, as we learn and grow from their creative ways to assist in our communities.”
