Community Involvement

Volunteerism and the spirit of charity is part of our company culture. We strongly believe that contributing to the community returns results ten fold to the well being of our employees and their families. Most employees participate regularly in volunteer activities as a group with our office or individually.

Our strong emphasis on families and children has led us to become very active with many local organizations. We are proud to be a strong supporter of the Big Brothers Big Sisters In-School Mentoring Program, where volunteers visit a child at school for one hour a week. All employees are encouraged to participate in this program. We have implemented a policy that allows every employee, who wants to participate, leave work early without loss of pay or time. We also implemented a similar program for Junior Achievement Southern Alberta. The Junior Achievement program brings members of the business community into the classroom to deliver relevant business learning experiences.

Participating in after-work charity activities becomes a group social event for everyone at Auto~Star. Events are coordinated by management, the social club, or individual employees. In addition to group events, Auto~Star also contributes financially to numerous non-profit organizations.

We are truly proud to be part of our community and look forward to continuing our involvement in the future.
