At Capital Power, we're proud of the active community participation of our employees. Some donate their time as coaches, volunteers and board members, some support community fundraising initiatives, and others lend their skills and talent to local community organizations. Our employees are committed to helping make their local communities safer, stronger, and better places to live and work.

Through the committed efforts of our employees, CPC supports an array of broad-reaching community projects that touch the lives of many.

When employees and their families volunteer in the community, they can apply to have Capital Power make a donation to a charitable organization of their choice.  Capital Power recognizes the valuable gifts of time, skills and knowledge that many Capital Power employees and their families give to the community and is proud to support the organizations that are important to its employees.  In 2009, some of the recipients of this volunteer grant include: 

• Discovery House Family Violence Prevention Society
• Dogs With Wings Assistance Dog Society
• Baseball Alberta
• Parkland Food Bank Society
• Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
• Bissell Centre
• Sherwood Park District Soccer Association
• Richmond Minor Hockey Association
• Camp Warwa Society
• Christmas Bureau of Edmonton
• North Edmonton Minor Football Association
• The Bhartiya Cultural Society of Alberta
• Strawberry District Society
• Young Alberta Book Society

United Way
The United Way provides essential community services to millions of people each year. Capital Power is proud to support the United Way and its employees showed their community support in a joint campaign with EPCOR raising over $420,000 in 2009.

In addition to personal pledges, other United Way fundraising activities that CPC employees participate in include 50/50 draws, bake sales and silent auctions.  CPC promotes “United Way Jean Days” as well in which employees who make a minimum pledge, are permitted to wear jeans every Friday for the following year.
