RBC
FINANCIAL GROUP
has
donated to Animal Welfare Association for several years
through
their Employee Volunteer Grants Program.
We
would like to thank RBC for their generous donations
obtained
by Valerie Williams, an RBC Financial Group employee.
Valerie
has volunteered many hours of her valuable personal time
working
at bingo sessions sponsored by AWA.
Valerie
Williams presents RBC cheque to Dorothy Edwards,
treasurer
of Animal Welfare Association,
at
Upper Hamilton Bingo Centre where she volunteers.
The
1999 RBC Financial Group launched its
"Employee
Volunteer Grants Program"
to
recognize employees for the good work that they do
in
their personal time, by volunteering in their communities.
Employees
and pensioners earn grants of up to $500 each
for
the charitable organization at which they volunteer.
Since
then, more than $1.2 million has been donated
to
various charities in honour of the hard work
and
efforts of over 1000 RBC employees.
