COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

FEATURED INITIATIVE:

UNITED WAY PLANE PULL 2026

A team of 20 CDN employees took on United Way of Calgary and Area’s Plane Pull, working together to pull a 200,000-pound plane across the tarmac. Together, the team raised more than $5,000 in support of United Way and its work to strengthen communities across Calgary and the surrounding area.

 
 

WHERE WE'VE MADE A DIFFERENCE

CDN CHARITY CHRISTMAS

CINEMA DAY

We welcomed families from Kids Up Front, Ronald McDonald House Charities, the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Boys and Girls Club in Calgary for a special celebration.

It was a moment shaped not by what we build, but by how we show up—reflecting the heart and commitment to community behind CDN.

CDN ELECTRICAL

EDUCATION CENTRE

Our most significant community investment gift in our history: an eight-year partnership agreement with Northwestern Polytechnic to advance learning and reinforce the value of skilled trades through the creation of The CDN Electrical Education Centre, a Hoffmann Family of Companies Community Commitment.

CDN PARTNERS WITH TOUGH ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT IT

CDN partners with Tough Enough To Talk About It, a mental health and wellness training program delivered across Canada and the United States. The program recognizes the unique demands, risks, and rewards of the industries we serve and how they affect mental health and overall well-being. Its training focuses on building a supportive workplace culture that reduces stigma, encourages open conversations, and fosters a strong network of support.

A MOMENT OF LIGHT FOR RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES

CDN partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and their Light the House initiative to provide a moment of light to families of children who navigated difficult medical treatment this year. Every year, they hold a "Light the House" ceremony, in which each of the four houses in Alberta, Canada turns on its holiday lights to create a magical experience for the families staying there during the holidays.

On September 24, 2024, CDN’s own Sr. VP of Operations, Jamie Saunders, geared up and joined STARS for this year’s Rescue to the Rockies. He flew to a remote, undisclosed location and completed a series of challenges. The initiative raised $450,000—with 100% of the funds being directed to STARS’ critical care missions.

#NO BULL

From Brooks’ Bullapolooza and Kitimat Chamber of Commerce Bull-O-Rama to Cody Snyder Bullbustin Inc. and the legendary Strathmore & District Agricultural Society Running of the Bulls, we spend every summer with the extraordinary communities where CDN lives, works, and plays.

SALVATION ARMY TORCH PASS

CDN was the 2023 sponsor of Salvation Army Torch Pass — a program that addresses food waste and food security in Fort St. John. 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.

Chart-Loop

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.
