Providing Community Support in British Columbia During COVID-19
In 2020, strategic community investments
in British Columbia were primarily focused
on helping communities build resiliency and
provide COVID relief.
At Mount Milligan, we implemented a three-pillar approach to
community investment in 2020. First, we provided C$30,000
to essential services and businesses that needed financial
support, including soup kitchens and emergency housing
programs. The next phase (called “Mining for Good”) focused
on highlighting and celebrating local heroes. Over 50 local hero
nominations were received, and gratitude gifts worth a total of
C$25,000 have been distributed across the region.
The third phase of our community resiliency and COVID-19
relief program launched in 2021. This third phase will be focused
on supporting the sustainable development of local
independent businesses. Businesses will be selected that are
not eligible for the Canadian government’s grant programs and
the funds will be used to help them repivot their business
during COVID-19.
