2022 Environmental Grant Recipients
Jun 10, 2022, 20:47 PMAt FortisAlberta, we believe in contributing to the well-being of the communities where our customers and employees live and work. Through our community investment program, we work to empower communities by supporting organizations that offer programs and services that align with our four areas of focus: safety, education, the environment and wellness.
