Community Involvement
In 2011, ENMAX invested over four million dollars in sponsorships and community investment throughout Alberta. ENMAX believes in helping communities thrive. The Community Investment and Sponsorship team reaches out to the community with programs and initiatives that align with their focus areas of youth, the environment and safety.
ENMAX is proud to support Pond Hockey and Rinklighter programs. Pond hockey gives children in communities around Alberta the chance to meet and skate with local hockey celebrities including players from the Calgary Flames, Calgary Hitmen, the Red Deer Rebels, the Lethbridge Hurricanes and the Edmonton Oil Kings. The Rinklighter program provides energy rebates for communities who operate an outdoor icerink, which cuts the communities energy costs while providing a safer environment for children.
Grassroots employee movements within ENMAX brought impressive results in 2011. Over $31,000 was donated to victims of the destructive tsunami in Japan, $280,000 was raised in the annual ENMAX United Way Campaign, and $30,000 was raised to support scholarships in honour of their fallen co-worker, Nathan Haase.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
“The glorious dream of full father involvement in infant care will not become a widespread reality overnight. But it can happen, and it eventually will happen,... A lot of progress may take place in a short period of time if we just lighten up, step back, and give the guys a decent chance.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
