Wherever we operate, we aim to enhance the well-being of our communities today while building a better tomorrow. For the last three years, Teekay Vancouver has partnered with Variety – The Children’s Charity to help create a better future for children with special needs. Teekay Vancouver is a key sponsor of Variety’s annual Boat for Hope event. Local skippers volunteer their time and their boats, taking children and their families out for a swash-buckling adventure on the high seas. Once firmly back on land, everyone is treated to a barbecue and carnival put on by local volunteers, including Teekay Vancouver employees. On June 9, a team of 13 Teekay staff spent the day setting up booths, decorating, manning games and crafts, and dismantling and cleaning up the event site. Said one Teekay employee, “This is my third year and I never tire of seeing the pure delight on the kids’ faces.” To learn more about Teekay’s charitable initiatives, visit the Community section on Teekay.com.
