Whether it’s supporting Canada’s winter game from the grassroots to the
international stage, providing gas vouchers to healthcare heroes across the
country during the COVID-19 pandemic or lending its support to mental
health, Esso is committed to Canada, and to Canadians.
Through its #FuelWhatMatters program, and with assistance from Team Canada
alumni Bo Horvat and Hayley Wickenheiser, Esso donated $5 for every
download of its Speedpass+ app from Oct. 14-28 to mental health programs
from coast to coast to coast. The donation goal of $140,000 – in honour of
the 140th anniversary of Imperial Oil in 2020 – was reached and funds will
be donated to 14 organizations.
“We are proud to be collaborating with our hockey partners and operating
communities to lower the stigma around mental health challenges,” said
Laura Bishop, communications and community investment manager with Imperial
Oil. “Thank you to Canadians who stepped up to #FuelWhatMatters and helped
us take action to support mental health resources and networks in
communities across Canada.”
The organizations, which will receive $10,000 each, include:
• Canadian Mental Health Association (Sarnia, Ont.)
• Child Adolescent and Family Mental Health
• Community Addiction and Mental Health Services of Haldimand and
Norfolk
• Reach Out Centre for Kids
• Dr. Margaret Savage Crisis Centre
