In The Community

Supporting Edmonton's Food Bank

We asked our organization's members to choose a charity that we could support throughout the year, and the overwhelming vote went to Edmonton's Food Bank—an organization that provides food, hot meals, and snacks to thousands of people every month.

During the Christmas season, we also challenge each other to bring in the most-wanted food bank items. We are overwhelmed by the response of our APS teams, who annually provide more than three additional truckloads of food for this worthwhile community organization.

Canadian Blood Services

APS is a proud member of Canadian Blood Services’ Partner for Life program. Since joining in the fall of 2014, APS’ blood donations have helped change the lives of nearly 1,000 people.

Corporate Challenge

APS participates in the Edmonton and area Corporate Challenge. Corporate Challenge is a fun opportunity for our staff to connect with other organizations in our community, and it also enables us to give back to our community with the Blood Donor challenge; Ride for Heart, supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation; and Extra Life, supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Our Environment

APS cares about our environment. A number of our programs ensure we enable one another to do our part to make the world a healthier place to live, work and play. Our remote-work program has reduced our carbon footprint.

In addition to bottle/can/household recycling stations and confidential recycling bins, our building uses geothermal heating and a rainwater collection system to water the shrubs and trees around it. We also encourage the use of digital documents to reduce paper usage and support carpooling and transit use.
