Spreading joy with entertainment and food
“Somewhere along the way, we must learn that there is nothing greater than to do something for others.” – Martin Luther King Jr. CP Builders (our internal community ambassador team) with the help of Tammy O’Quinn Reid brought food and live entertainment to The Centre of Hope (COH) in Fort McMurray for a barbeque event on June 6, 2019. CP Builder volunteers cooked over 200 hot dogs and hamburgers on CP’s barbeque trailer and provided refreshments for the homeless. During the barbeque, Tammy O’Quinn Reid and CP’s own Duane St. Croix provided live entertainment and even had a few people join in on the microphone.
“It was one of the best days I’ve had in almost 7 years of working at The Centre of Hope,” says Linda Haggarty, COH Team Lead. “Food and music were amazing; it was heart warming, emotional, and so great to see so many of the COH family coming together and having fun dancing and laughing.”
“It was truly something special to see all of the smiling faces and what a blessing to work for a company who has the means to provide an event like this for the people who live within our community that need an extra helping hand,” says CP Fleet/Logistics Coordinator Janelle Ritchie. The barbeque couldn’t have been more successful with the beautiful weather and delicious food.
“We’re so blessed to be part of our patrons’ lives,” says Linda. “Thank you for bringing such joy to all of us.”
