FEATURED INITIATIVE:
CDN TAKES FLIGHT WITH STARS
On September 24, 2024, CDN’s own Sr. VP of Operations, Jamie Saunders, will gear up and join STARS for this year’s Rescue to the Rockies. He will be flown to a remote, undisclosed location and complete a series of challenges throughout the day—all of which will be documented on STARS and CDN’s social media. We have set a $50,000 fundraising goal to show our support of STARS—with 100% of the funds being directed to STARS’ critical care missions.

SALVATION ARMY TORCH PASS
CDN is the 2023 sponsor of Salvation Army Torch Pass — a program that addresses food waste and food security in Fort St. John. Now entering its fourth year, this initiative sees excess food gathered and repackaged for those in the community who need it most.
COMMUNITY INVESTMENT WITH IMPACT
We show our commitment in two ways: through community investment and sponsorship.
Community investment opportunities are partnerships where our financial contributions provide visible, proven, and measurable impact to a cause. These include partnerships with local charitable organizations and making long-term commitments with significant community-driven projects.
Our sponsorships allow us to support individuals and groups while promoting our brand in the community. This includes financial gifts to sports teams, individual athletes, and local community events.
Through our new community investment strategy, we focus primarily on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3 Good Health and Well-Being by making investments in individuals and groups who are making investments in themselves.
Our mission is to create real, tangible, and sustained value as we foster and grow meaningful relationships and extend our core values into our communities.
1.5% OF EBITDA
We publicly commit 1.5% of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to our community investment program annually. We make this commitment as part of our long-standing investment in the places where we live, work, and play.
