At IPC, we built IPC Cares to bring together the various efforts we make towards enhancing the communities within which we operate. By adopting causes that are close to our hearts, we keep ourselves committed and accountable.

Last year alone, as a company, we supported the aid efforts on the Fort McMurray fires, palliative care through The Healing Cycle Foundation and women and children through The Salvation Army.

Perhaps the most significant effort we undertake, and one that we believe is representative of the kind of work that inspires and keeps us committed to our CSR efforts, is the community development project in Honduras with The Carpenteros & Friends. Last year’s project involved a group of IPC staff and Advisors volunteering their time and energy on the ground. Very little is as inspiring and rewarding as living the lives of the people you’re helping, and every one of the people who took the journey came back a changed person, even more determined to stay committed to making a difference in the world!

We also made countless small but significant contributions of our time and resources within our communities through many grassroots charities we believe in, and the ripple effect of their efforts are always rewarding.

Good Shepherd Christmas Sponsor-Our-Families Program 

Through the Good Shepherd’s commitment to their mission of “Never Stop Loving” and their willingness to be of service to those in need, they have grown to become the Greater Hamilton area’s largest social service agency. The Good Shepherd Centre’s Sponsor-Our-Families Program invites community members to help brighten the life of a family in need within our community. The Good Shepherd serves families in both their Family Centre and Women’s and Youth Services, who face unexpected crises that result in homelessness. Each year we donate gifts as a part of the Christmas Sponsorship program to help young community members know that someone cares about them during the holidays.
