Chevron Canada is committed to partnering with Indigenous communities where we operate to build an understanding of each other's aspirations and concerns. Together, we work to identify opportunities for investment and collaboration. Accordingly, we have a range of programs designed to focus on health and wellness, culture, education, heritage protection and economic development.

Chevron supports activities and events that celebrate Indigenous culture and heritage including Jamborees, Pow Wows, and Treaty Day celebrations in our areas of operation.

We were also proud to support a Traditional Land Use study at Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation to help preserve the written and oral history of the Nation’s deep connection to their lands.

local leadership development through sport

We have been proud to partner with Spirit North since 2017 to connect Indigenous youth to sport, play, the outdoors and the land. Through these connections, children are empowered to learn, grow, thrive and eventually contribute to the health, strength and vibrancy of their communities.

In 2020-2021, despite the enormous challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, Spirit North reached 2,700 youth across 40 communities through more than 950 in-school sessions and more than 330 after-school events. Spirit North continues to work toward their goal of supporting 10,000 youth by 2025.

regional support for health

We are helping to improve regional health care in Fox Creek, Whitecourt, and surrounding area by providing training opportunities for staff at regional health centers in both towns, as well as funds to purchase upgraded or specialized equipment to meet community health care needs.

Our educational partners demonstrated exceptional agility and innovation in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic by adapting programing to online delivery. Going forward, many of the learnings & enhancements gained from shifting to online program delivery will be leveraged towards an inclusive  hybrid program delivery model.

Chevron Canada provides funding to the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation to support music, science and math programs.

Chevron Canada sponsors the TELUS World of Science Edmonton’s, “Science In Motion Program” which provides a variety of science based outreach educational programs for Grades K-9 in Northern Alberta.
