At Telus International, we believe that a strong community is the foundation for a thriving society. As part of our ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility, we are excited to share some of our recent initiatives and how we are working together to create a positive impact in our community.

Recent Initiatives

  1. Community Clean-Up Drives
    • Our team recently organized a series of clean-up drives in local parks and neighborhoods. These events not only helped improve the environment but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among our employees and local residents. We are proud of the collective effort to make our community cleaner and greener.
  2. Educational Workshops
    • Education is a powerful tool for change. In collaboration with local schools and educational organizations, we hosted workshops focusing on topics such as digital literacy, financial planning, and career development. These sessions have empowered individuals with valuable skills and knowledge to succeed in today’s world.
  3. Supporting Local Businesses
    • Small businesses are the backbone of our community. To support them, we have initiated a "Shop Local" campaign, encouraging our employees and community members to patronize local businesses. Additionally, we have provided grants and mentorship programs to help these businesses thrive and expand.
  4. Employee Volunteer Program
    • Our Employee Volunteer Program has seen incredible participation this year. Employees have dedicated their time and expertise to various causes, from mentoring youth to assisting in food banks. This program has not only made a significant impact on the community but has also enriched the lives of our employees.

Upcoming Projects

  1. Green Initiatives
    • Sustainability is key to our future. We are launching new green initiatives aimed at reducing our carbon footprint and promoting environmental awareness. Stay tuned for more details on our tree planting events and sustainable practices workshops.
  2. Health and Wellness Programs
    • We are partnering with local health organizations to provide wellness programs that focus on both physical and mental health. These programs will include fitness classes, mental health awareness seminars, and health screenings to ensure our community stays healthy and informed.
  3. Educational Scholarships
    • Education should be accessible to all. To further support this belief, we are introducing a scholarship program aimed at assisting students from underprivileged backgrounds. These scholarships will help alleviate the financial burden of education and open doors to new opportunities.

We are incredibly proud of the progress we have made and the positive impact our initiatives have had on the community. However, our work is far from over. We are dedicated to continuing our efforts and exploring new ways to support and uplift our community. Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
