For many, the stress of the pandemic has taken its toll. For some, it has made access to necessities like food and housing even more challenging. This year, Coastal GasLink wanted to find an impactful way to help those most in need; that’s where United Way of Northern British Columbia<\/a> (UWNBC) has stepped in.<\/p>\n

UWNBC has been extending the arm of support to Northern B.C. communities for over 50 years, making them the perfect fit to join forces with Coastal GasLink to give back to the communities in which we operate. <\/p>\n

Coastal GasLink launched its Legacy of Giving campaign in partnership with UWNBC in early September 2021, challenging its workforce and contractors to raise funds to support those in need. Together they raised over $97,000, of which $33,000 was matched by TC Energy’s workforce giving and volunteering program, Empower<\/a>. <\/p>\n

For Trista Spencer, UWNBC’s Executive Director, this partnership made a world of difference for the communities the UWNBC serves. <\/p>\n

“Having a partnership come through and come forward at this time is almost a sense of relief to know that there is somebody able to help. That, in and of itself, is the part that makes me emotional still about a campaign and initiative like this,” expresses Trista.<\/p>\n
