Behind every good company is a great community. The strength of the Canada Safeway Foundation is in the ability to bring together the diverse skills of so many companies, organizations and individuals. As a business that believes in the importance of community involvement, Canada Safeway encourages their employees and partners to take an active role in the Foundation. Hundreds of Safeway employees volunteer their time and expertise to ensure our special events are the best possible.
Annual Charity Golf Classic - Calgary, Alberta
For the past eight years our annual Charity Golf Classis has raised millions of dollars, ensuring the Foundation continues to feed, protect and nurture children and families in Western Canada. Located at the Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club, attendees enjoy an exciting game of golf in the heart of the scenic Alberta Foothills. This private, picturesque course is comprised of 36 holes that challenge both the skills and imagination of those attending. Every hole on the course is manned by a friendly face and a laugh or two, as cheerful Safeway volunteers make the round of golf more than a game but a memorable experience for all. Held each July, our Charity Golf Classic has made a name for itself as one of the premier events in the Canadian grocery industry. The upcoming Charity Golf Classic will take place on July 22 and 23, 2009.
