Habitat For Humanity

In 2006, Enbridge participated and sponsored a Habitat for Humanity project to build a five-unit housing complex in north-central Edmonton. Sixty-seven Enbridge employees donated close to 900 hours to the project. And for donating their personal time, Enbridge matched their hours with paid leave from work. More recently, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. has partnered with Habitat for Humanity and Evergreen to provide and install ecologically friendly habitat gardens for 9 homes in a low-income, high-crime area of Edmonton on company time. The new naturalized gardens will require reduced dependency on chemical pesticides and herbicides, resulting in reduced maintenance time, costs and water.

Habitat for Humanity is a charitable organization that was established to completely eliminate poverty housing and homelessness. Habitat for Humanity depends on community partnerships to make sure that safe, decent and affordable housing is available for all.
