TELUS Friendly Future Foundation

You Can Ride 2 provides accessible bikes to kids with disabilities, bringing independence and joy to these children and their families. Through TELUS Friendly Future Foundation, our TELUS Edmonton and Northern Alberta Community Board is honoured to provide funding to this independent programme of the Goodwill Industries of Alberta, to help an additional 200 youth realise the childhood joy of riding a bike. Bravo to all of the #UnsungHeroes who help bring this programme to life; for seeing a need in your community, and coming together to fill the gap!

Celebrating 25 incredible years of the exceptional TELUS Omnium golf tournament, held annually in Quebec. Thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors, including our Presenting Sponsor, WesTower Communications Ltd., along with our many partners, donors and attendees, we raised $224,000 in support of our Foundation! Together, we are helping socially-minded youth like Blain (pictured in the middle) pursue their dream of a post-secondary education through the TELUS Student Bursary.

“Getting shot was the best thing that ever happened to me” — unbelievable words from Brandon Peacock, founder of Hit The Ground Running, whose life was irrevocably changed at the young age of 23 years old. Learn how this tragic experience inspired him to create an organization dedicated to supporting disabled trauma survivors from diverse backgrounds in the Greater Ottawa Area: https://lnkd.in/gJ9_sHvW We're proud to provide Hit the Ground Running with a grant through the TELUS Ottawa and Eastern Ontario Community Board to enable young people with disabilities who have experienced trauma with the help they need to cover the costs of essential rehabilitation services.

Thank you Future of Good for recognizing the work we do as a foundation to empower youth, and TELUS' social purpose programs that help bridge divides. We're honoured to have our executive director, Nimmi Kanji, on this esteemed list of social impact leaders.

Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are spotlighting an incredible initiative that is nurturing Indigenous cultural identity in young hearts and minds. Meet Journeys of the Heart – a program by Hulitan Family and Community Services that's breaking new ground as part of Western Canada's first Indigenous, cultural, and trauma-informed daycare. This one-of-a-kind program connects Indigenous children and caregivers with their heritage while preparing them for a smooth transition into the public school system. By supporting programs like Journey of the Heart, which received a transformative grant from the TELUS Vancouver Island Community Board, we're not just investing in education – we're investing in the future of our communities while contributing to Indigenous-led reconciliation efforts. #TruthandReconciliation #EveryChildMatters🧡

Creativity and activity go hand in hand! 🎨🏃♂️ #ThrowbackThursday to when Benoit Simard, Vice Chair of the TELUS Montreal Community Board and Florence-Agathe Dubé-Moreau, Co-chair of Fondation Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, met up for a special cheque presentation at TELUS Place in Montreal.
