This year, the 1Cogeco Community Involvement Day is taking place on September 24, 2022. The theme chosen by employees for this year is Planting Roots in Our Communities, with tree planting and cleaning up trails and shoreline events organized across all the regions we serve in Canada and the United States.
The tree planting activities emphasize our commitment to taking part in developing our communities and managing our environmental footprint, key pillars in Cogeco’s Corporate Social Responsibility program. In addition to their positive impact on the planet, trees help beautify our surroundings and provide food and shelter to wildlife, among other benefits.
