committed to building stronger communities together

mental and physical community health

We support health-related initiatives that contribute to individual well-being, leadership development and positive outcomes including Spirit North’s Indigenous Youth Sport Programs in Northern Alberta, the St. Johns Regatta Chevron Learn To Row program, the Fox Creek Multiplex Aquatics Centre, the Fox Creek Nordic Trail Club, local hospital equipment and staff training as well as mobile community health screening programs.

In 2022, over 5,400 Indigenous children and youth participated in Spirit North’s year-round land-based programs that featured 14 unique sports and activities. In 2023, Chevron Canada supported approximately 280 Indigenous Youth from First Nation communities in Northern Alberta to participate in the Alberta Indigenous Games.

equipping community leaders

For over 35 years, we have supported the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. This has included scholarships for the Indigenous Leadership and Management programs, which gives leaders an opportunity to gain a better understanding of how to establish a strategic direction for their communities and organizations, as well as the skills to implement that plan through focused effort and measured performance. In 2022, 55 Chevron scholarships were awarded to recipients in the Indigenous Leadership Program, three of which were received by First Nation members from communities within which we operate.

skills development

In Newfoundland, we proudly support training and development programs at Stella’s Circle. In 2022, these programs provided employment services to almost 500 individuals facing barriers to fully participating in their community. Employment was also provided to 92 individuals, including five new Peer Support Supervisor positions directly with the organization.

In Alberta, through Women Building Futures we support employment training programs for women in trades with 175 graduates in 2023, 20 percent of whom identify as Indigenous. Almost a dozen women graduate each year from the Women Building Futures Journeywoman Program and 85 percent of these graduates are employed in their target industry within six months.

celebrating local culture

Celebration and culture are central to thriving communities. Chevron Canada helps communities come together, acknowledge their local culture and celebrate their future through supports of local family festivals, First Nations cultural celebrations and events in the areas where we operate.

partnering with Indigenous communities

Chevron Canada is committed to partnering with Indigenous communities where we operate to build mutual understanding, collaboration and opportunity. We are proud to support a range of programs that promote health and wellness, culture, education, heritage protection and prosperity.

enabling safer communities

Chevron supports local disaster preparedness, mitigation and response efforts in the communities where we operate in partnership with local fire departments, hospitals, municipalities, and relief agencies.

Our disaster response efforts draw on well-established operational excellence expertise and local resources and focus on the safety of our people and partners.

improving food security

Chevron Canada supports programs that provide people with access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to empower independence and meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Through local community food assessments, community gardens, local food bank donations and employee food collection drives, we contribute to addressing food security in the communities where we live and work.

empowering students through chevron open minds ®

For over 30 years, Chevron Canada has sponsored the award-winning Chevron Open Minds® school program. This program gives children and their teachers a week-long, hands-on learning experience tied directly to curriculum objectives in unique community settings. Chevron sponsors four Open Minds sites across Canada; at a zoo, historical park, science centre and museum. To date, more than 150,000 students have participated in this program.

investing in STEM education

Chevron Canada contributes to scholarships, internships, research, program development, and endowments at three universities: Memorial University, University of Alberta and University of Calgary. We also support post-secondary scholarships for Indigenous students through INDSPIRE as well as educational outreach programming to remote communities through Let’s Talk Science and TELUS World of Science’s ’Science In Motion’.
