Supporting Arts & Culture at Keyano Theatre

For the second consecutive year FT Services sponsored Keyano Theatre's annual fundraising event. In 2009, audiences were wowed with outstanding performances from Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker. The ballet played before 1,200 people at two sold-out performances, a matinee and an evening semi-formal affair. The Nutcracker Ballet raised over $55,000 for the Keyano Theatre. FT Services is proud to support cultural activities and lend a hand to bringing a distinguished and world-renowed ballet company to Fort McMurray.

Supporting Students at Keyano College

FT Services is proud to support Keyano College in Fort McMurray. In 2009, the company continued their sponsorship to help grow the college to support an increasing demand for students in the region. These initiatives include:

Keyano Golf Classic;

Keyano Gala;

and an FT Services Bursary for a student with demonstrated financial need.

Keyano College is a comprehensive community college that offers educational and training programs, courses, and services to the residents of northeast Alberta. It offers a complement of unique heavy industrial training programs with a provincial responsibility to deliver these throughout Alberta.


Supporting United Way FT Services ran its first United Way campaign in the fall of 2007 in Fort McMurray. Employees exceeded their goal by more than 20 per cent and FT Services matched donations dollar for dollar. In addition, employees participated in a number of United Way engagement activities, including a Day of Caring at the Centre of Hope - a day shelter for the homeless, unemployed, and underemployed. For this campaign, United Way of Fort McMurray presented us with the Outstanding First Time Employee Campaign Award. In 2009, $40,000 was given to the Fort McMurray United Way, with $25,000 from employee contributions and $15,000 from the company. Employees actively support the campaign in many ways through barbeque donations and 50/50 draws.


Glenlake Minor Hockey Club In February of 2008, FT Services signed a five-year agreement with the Glenlake Minor Hockey Club, home of the Hawks. The donation included brand new home and away jerseys for its 450+ players. FT Services believes minor hockey is a great way for youth to develop healthy lifestyles, social networks and make a positive contribution in the community.
