Sometimes it’s the unexpected, thoughtful moments that mean the most.
When @gene.principe learned that 87 EPCOR employees volunteer as mentors with @bgcbigs , he wanted to see the impact firsthand.
Yesterday, he stopped by Rossdale Water Treatment Plant, one of EPCOR’s five mentoring sites, to surprise our mentors and the awesome, local kids they support. His visit brought big smiles and reminded employees what their weekly commitment means. Thanks Geno!
Programs like this show the power of community and why mentoring matters so much.
Join Team EPCOR tomorrow at Get Ready in the Park — a free family event at the Edmonton Expo Centre from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Take a photo with an EPCOR bucket truck, explore the Hazard Hamlet, meet our #RainWise crew and learn how you can book a free flood prevention inspection. We have a fun day planned and we hope to see you there!

Did you know some plants and landscaping in your neighbourhood are designed to help protect our streets from flooding?
Low Impact Development (LID) uses special plants and soil to manage rainwater naturally. Swipe to find out which plants are mainly for show — and which ones work not only from 9-5, but around the clock to help keep your community flood resilient.

During National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the many ways Team EPCOR gives back.
For Derek Butler, an Operations Supervisor in Ontario, volunteering is part of everyday life — from serving as a volunteer firefighter to coaching his daughter’s sports teams. Through EPCOR’s Helping Hands Grant, he’s able to extend that impact by supporting a local school breakfast program.
Whether #volunteering on their own or as a team, we’re committed to supporting employees who strengthen their communities.

With over 130 years of history providing #yeg with power, we’ve seen more than a few eras, including the 90’s! But we know safe and reliable electricity never goes out of style. Enjoy these polaroids from around the office as we take a trip down memory lane! #electricity #power
Products that go in the toilet: Toilet paper 🧻
Products that go in the trash: Everything else!
Flushing these household items can cause blockages in your pipes as they don’t break down like toilet paper:
• Wipes
• Cotton pads
• Q-tips
• Tissues
• Feminine hygiene products
• Hair
• Dental floss
Keep these items out of your toilet to avoid costly plumbing headache later!
