Community Investment Fund

Albian Sands supports projects that contribute meaningfully to the quality of life in the communities in which we live and operate.

The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo has much to offer and a lot to celebrate. Through targeted community investments and our employees' efforts, we contribute to projects that make Wood Buffalo a great place to live.

Our support extends to the Aboriginal communities of Wood Buffalo, both First Nations and Métis.

Our core areas of focus include:

• Aboriginal capacity building and community development
• Civic initiatives
• Education
• Employees
• Environment
• Health and Wellness
• Youth Development

Projects Involving Albian People

The volunteer efforts of employees, retirees and marketing partners are recognized and rewarded by the Albian Community Service Fund, a unique program established to provide financial support to not-for-profit organizations where Albian employees regularly volunteer. The CSF provides grants of up to $1,000 per applicant.
