Community Investment Program

For over 60 years, Northwestel has been committed to the well-being of the communities we serve. As a corporation and as employees, we work actively to improve the quality of life in the North. Our Community Investment Program is an expression of this commitment.

In the past year, Northwestel contributed more than $550,000 in cash and in-kind donations to many northern community groups. There are three areas that Northwestel primarily supports with sponsorships and donations: arts and cultural programs, recreation and sport activities, and issues of community concern, with priority given in all three areas to programs focused on youth.

In addition to its ongoing community investment, Northwestel has also been a supporter of the biannual Arctic Winter Games since they were first held in Yellowknife, NT in 1970.
