Community Involvement

Helping the local communities that drive our success

Walmart Canada strengthens its ties to the community by supporting a diversity of organizations and charities. We contribute particularly to programs that help families in need, whether that be for healthcare, education, hunger, or in recovering from a natural disaster.

Our work is both national and local in scope. In 2010, we successfully donated and raised more than $23 million to our Canadian charity partners and non-profits. These corporate programs draw strength from our thousands of associates who lend both time and energy to our causes.

Amongst our 2010 highlights, we reached a new milestone by surpassing $57 million in overall contributions for Children’s Miracle Network. We were also ranked one of The Top Ten Most Generous Companies in Québec by Le Journal du Québec.
