“We like to say it’s easy being green with a little help, a little education, a little support and that sort of thing, it becomes easier and easier. That’s what we do. We come in and we help people through education and through advice, through hands-on support and services consulting with businesses and in the community and with families. I visit schools and other organizations to provide hands-on presentations where the kids get to experience what the environment and sustainable living is all about. The kids actually remember so much more when they get to experience something and for them to learn a topic and actually make realizations about how they impact the environment, can actually change their entire perspective. My role with the organization is to essentially help residents, people in their homes green their homes whatever that looks like for them. It’s a very holistic and personalized look at the home. We are able to tailor every visit to whatever the needs of the homeowner are. I think certainly the main areas are chemical use in the home and saving on utility bills. I think those are the primary concerns when we are going in to a home for the first time. I work on the Green Workplace Program. I’m a Green Workplace Consultant. I help businesses to reduce their environmental impact. Sometimes they don’t really know what their goals are; they just say, “Green our office,” and so we have to come in and help them refine their goals. Is it more around waste-related or is it more energy-related. We’re encouraging businesses to reduce their waste, recycle their waste. I feel like I’m making a difference in the Alberta Recycling climate, Calgarians are really open to the message. They’re a city where we really appreciate the beautiful environment that we have. I think the city of Calgary has set some excellent sustainability goals for the community and people are from all sectors are interested in being part of reaching those goals. I think a lot of people, they want to make change and they just don’t know where to start. That’s where we come in. www.greencalgary.org. People often need a helping hand and that friendly support. That’s what we’re here to do. I think it makes a big difference.”

First Calgary Financial – Living Wage Leader

Sunday, 10 June 2012 by BizBOXTV

calgary corporate video production - first calgary financial - BizBOXTV Web VideoCalgary Corporate Video – First Calgary Financial recognized as a Living Wage Leader in Calgary

First Calgary Financial has been recognized by Vibrant  Communities Calgary with the “Living Wage Leader” designation, becoming the third largest corporation in Calgary to take this bold step. “Poverty is a man-made condition, and we all have a responsibility to solve it,” said John Dundas, First Calgary Financial’s Senior Vice President of Strategy & Operations. “All Calgarians deserve to be paid a Living Wage to meet their basic needs, maintain a safe, decent standard of living and save for their future.”

For the past five years, all First Calgary Financial employees have earned a Living Wage, or more. First Calgary Financial has exceeded program requirements by encouraging their suppliers to pay a Living Wage and preferentially sourcing from Living Wage employers.

“We’ve worked closely with First Calgary Financial for years and we’re thrilled to count them among our Living Wage Leaders,” says Dan Meades Director of Vibrant Communities Calgary. “You can’t address poverty without addressing income, and work-based wages are a key part of that. Adequate compensation is the most fundamental way in which we can prevent people from living in poverty, and we’re proud to recognize those that incorporate this in company policies.”

calgary corporate video production - BizBOXTV Web Video - First Calgary FinancialWhat is a Living Wage? A Living Wage in Calgary amounts to $12.50/hour with benefits and $13.75/hour without benefits, based on Canada’s Low Income Cutoff for an individual living in a city, which stands at $22,667 annually.

Launched in 2009 with the Calgary Chamber, Vibrant Communities Calgary’s Living Wage Leader program recognizes community leaders committed to paying employees a Living Wage. Fair compensation is among the most powerful of corporate social responsibility initiatives when it comes to improving customer loyalty and corporate income. It reduces staff turnover and training costs, and increases productivity. Paying Living Wages has also been shown to increase local spending and improving the local economy.

About Vibrant Communities Calgary — Vibrant Communities Calgary is a non-profit organization that works collaboratively with various stakeholders and partners, to engage Calgarians and advocate for long-term strategies that address the root cause of poverty in Calgary.
