Local Community Sponsorships
Canad Inns receives thousands of sponsorship requests on and annual basis and donates hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Value In Kind, monetarily, throughout our communities each and every year.
For this reason, we devote a portion of our community investment to initiatives that make our communities better places to raise our families, connect with our friends and work with our colleagues. We define our local communities as the places where our employees live and work: Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage la Prairie and Grand Forks. These places are special to us because we make our homes here and we have neighbours we care about. Neighbours who do business with us, and neighbours with whom we do business.
