This year has been difficult for many Canadians, with rising costs and increased food insecurity affecting families across the country. In times like these, food banks everywhere have seen a surge in demand and are relying more than ever on support from organizations and individuals. Alberta Canola has proudly answered the call to help.
Every year, we make a meaningful contribution to local communities by donating pallets of canola oil to those in need. This year, we continued our tradition by donating to the Edmonton Food Bank, which supports families in the Edmonton area. Additionally, we contributed to the North of 60 Project, a charity that works tirelessly to provide food security and essential resources to remote communities in the far north.
In a further show of support, we chose to donate 2,300 bottles of canola oil to the Red Deer Food Bank in place of giving speaker gifts at the 2025 Alberta Canola Conference.
In total, Alberta Canola has donated over 6,200 bottles of oil over the past year alone. Our orders for this year are already placed, as we continue to focus on supporting communities that need a helping hand.
