Community Relations

In partnership with the Weyerhaeuser Area Community Club, Inc., starting in 2022, Source Energy Services will be providing $10,000 over five years to support the Weyerhaeuser Pickleball Courts.

‍

The Weyerhaeuser Area Community Club and their partners have rehabilitated and converted two tennis courts at the Community Park in Weyerhaeuser into six lighted pickleball courts. As Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US, the courts are helping to make the community more attractive, bring more visitors into the area to enjoy the park and patronize local businesses, as well as give people the opportunity to partake in the sport.

In partnership with the Wembley & District Agricultural Society, starting in 2019, Source Energy Services will be providing $100,000 over five years to support the Wembley Arena and Recreation Centre. The Arena and Rec Centre is not only home to Wembley Wildcats Hockey but is also a pillar of the community with its many programs, fitness room, and rec centre.

“We’re very excited that Source has supported this community association like they have. It’s a large chunk of money for us and the board is just completely excited about our future with Source”

In 2022 and 2023 Source Energy Services was a sponsor of the UP Foundation’s UP & Away Gala, which raised funds for the Foundation’s programs and services.

‍

In 2021 the Calgary Source Energy Services Team also participated in the Calgary Marathon’s Charity Challenge and raised funds for the Unlocking Potential Foundation (UP Foundation).  In total $12,570 was raised by Team Source Energy Services, which went to support the UP Foundation’s Never Too Late program.

‍

The Never Too Late program provides no-cost academic, social and emotional support to adult learners who want to complete their GED (General Education Development or high school equivalency). Learning occurs in community with a cohort of students who share the same dream: to become a high school graduate.

In 2024, Source Energy Services donated funds to help replace the jointer in the school's shop.

In 2022, we donated the funds to help Fox Creek School purchase a new planer for their Industrial Arts program.

The shop is now able to help students from grades 4 to 12 complete woodworking projects in a safer manner, while keeping the wood and materials costs down

The new jointer is helping students learn on equipment that is more representative of what they will encounter in shops and post-secondary institutions. The new planer allows the school to be more sustainable as they can now re-use wood and use wood that is not perfect.

Source Energy Services is a proud sponsor of the Talk to Me Society in Wembley’s Talk To Me Color Walk/Run.

The mission of the organization is to increase awareness of mental health programs for first responders in the community. 2024 is the 6th Annual Talk To Me Color Walk/Run, which is held in honour of Dustin Sieker, a first responder who lost his life to suicide stemming from PTSI. The monies raised by this event go back into the community. First, by funding two scholarships to the Community Foundation of Northwestern Alberta that the society has created, and second, by giving any extra funds to Youth Mental Health programs like AHS, Suicide Prevention, Men's Shed, and the EMS Foundation. Source also sponsored this event in 2022.

The Hospital Activity Book for Children, Red Deer, provides free activity books for kids to hospitals, medical service units, pediatric centers, victim service units and many other services. Source has sponsored this organization for their past three campaigns. The activity books are filled with games, colouring pages, word puzzles, and even little recipes they can do with their parents once they return home. The Hospital Activity Book for Children also works in partnership with Make-A-Wish Canada. A portion of our sponsorship was given to Make-A-Wish Canada, which grants 10 wishes every year for critically ill children with The Hospital Activity Book for Children organization. Source has sponsored this initiative in 2019, 2020, 2021, & 2022.

Source Energy Services hosted a series of HCL awareness presentations in partnership with Chemtrade in June 2022. The presentations provided information regarding the safe handling, delivery, and storage of HCL to employees, transport companies, and local emergency responders. We also held a series of these presentations in May 2019.

Our Wisconsin team actively participates in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Adopt-a-Highway Program. As participants in the program, we conduct roadside cleanups on highways near our operations.

Back for the 5th year after a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic, Source Energy Services has once again sponsored the Prairie Mall’s Wrap a Gift & Give a Gift 2022 Campaign in Grande Prairie. The campaign is organized by the mall and is staffed by volunteers wrapping Christmas gifts to earn money for their local organizations. Throughout the entire holiday season, anyone is welcome to drop by the station to have their gifts wrapped by and support local non-profits at the same time.

Source has sponsored this initiative in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021 as well.

The ALS Society of Alberta is a charitable organization dedicated to making each day the best possible day for people living with and affected by ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). ALS is a terminal disease with a life expectancy of 2-5 years after diagnosis. They achieve their mission by providing support, facilitating the provision of care, providing adaptive mobility and communication equipment, promoting awareness, helping find a cure, and advocating for change. They are the only organization in Alberta providing support for people living with ALS and their families. The organization provides support across Alberta, including multiple communities that Source Energy Services has a presence in – Grande Prairie, Red Deer, Calgary, and Edson. The funds from Source’s 2021 donation are going to support the ALS Society’s Client Services Support Program and their Equipment Loan Program.

Annually, our corporate office partnered with The Women’s Centre of Calgary to do a toy drive for their Holiday Toy Room. The Women’s Centre Holiday Toy Room helps women and families in need by operating a gift program, where women are able to choose a holiday gift for their children, as well as a gift for themselves.

Every year, Source Energy Services locations participate in our Hamper Campaign. Hampers were filled with donated food, gifts, and sometimes even funds to support organizations in all communities we operate in. 

​Some of the organizations we have worked with since this initiative launched include: the Alpha House Society, Inn From the Cold, Women’s Centre of Calgary Toy Room, The Red Deer Food Bank, the Helen E. Taylor School in Wembley, AB, the Lampman & District Lions Club, Lampman Fire & Rescue, the Grande Prairie Saint Lawrence Centre, the Tansi Friendship Centre, Helping Hands of Grande Prairie, the Calgary Food Bank, the Kinette Club of Edson, the Sagitawa Friendship Society, the Blair Food Pantry, Feed My People Food Bank, the Cameron Food Pantry, Ruby’s Pop Up Pantry, and local schools and other organizations across the places we operate.
