Community Support
When you choose to work with Strike, you invest back within your local community—where we all work and live.
Each of our charitable initiatives is selected based on how they add to the community at large and how they align with our company values. In addition to sponsorship, we encourage our staff to engage with their local communities and build lasting relationships.
We love to support local and community-based causes!
Since 2004, Strike has contributed over $1,400,000 to more than 118 charities across Western Canada.
