Terracon Employees Give Back

December 2014

Terracon and our employees have always believed in being part of, and giving back to, the communities in which we live and work. This December our employees seized the opportunity to help a local charity in Fort McMurray. Through a 50/50 draw and donations the employees raised over $1,000 as well as various toys and canned goods for Santa’s Anonymous. Santa’s Anonymous is a community charity run by the students of Father Mercredi High School in Fort McMurray, Alberta. The goal of the charity is to provide each family in need with a traditional Christmas dinner and toys for each child. Support for infants and seniors is also available when indicated by the family. In it’s 30th year of operation, Santa’s Anonymous has helped more than 15,000 families and in excess of 51,000 people have a very merry Christmas.

Terracon is proud to help support such a worthy cause and would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Terracon Hits The Ice

September 25, 2014

While the first days of fall are behind us, Terracon has jumped into Winter and is on the ice at the Fort McMurray Casman Center. Terracon’s newest ad board is officially up and has the best view in the house when the Oil Barons take on the rest of the AJHL in the 2014/15 season. Terracon is very excited to continue its support for minor hockey and for the Oil Barons as they look to bring home the 2015 “Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup“.

Good luck to all the players, coaches, parents and fans with the 2014/15 season!
