16 . TELUS 2010 annual report
Giving locally to grassroots charities
TELUS Community Boards bring together influential community leaders and TELUS
team members to provide funding to local grassroots charities. This innovative approach
delegates funding decisions to the local level to help ensure our support will have the
most impact.
Nine TELUS Community Boards are located across Canada in Victoria, Vancouver,
Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Rimouski and Atlantic Canada.
In 2010, TELUS Community Boards allocated $4.1 million to local charities and non-
profit organizations and supported more than 300 projects. Since their inception,
TELUS Community Boards have allocated $25 million to local charities and non-profit
organizations and supported close to 1,900 community projects nationwide.
We also have eight TELUS Community Action Teams, which, in 2010, donated
$236,000 and supported more than 80 grassroots projects in smaller communities.
Rolling up our sleeves to pitch in
The fifth annual TELUS Day of Giving took place across Canada in May with a record
10,400 team members, retirees, family and friends coming together to participate in over
175 activities. Since 2006, over 41,000 volunteers have been mobilized at 950 TELUS-
organized activities on this special day.
Through TELUS’ community investment philosophy – we give where we
live – the company is creating a legacy of giving based on innovation and
a passion to help build healthier communities. Our efforts focus on arts and
culture, education and sport, and health and well-being in our environment,
in ways that support youth and showcase technology.
