Petro-Canada, in partnership with Shell Canada, sponsors a “snack” program at the Morley Community School. This program provides all students at the school with a healthy nutritious snack every day.

2008 North American Indigenous Games

Petro-Canada will be the 'Official Fuel Supplier' for this gathering of 6,000 athletes and 3,000 cultural participants from across North America.

2010 Olympics Legacy Totem Pole

Aboriginal Affairs has been an integral part of the Petro-Canada team that is working with the Four Host First Nations and Squamish/Kwakiutl artist Klatle Bhi in creating a 25-foot traditional totem pole. The pole will be on display during the Olympics and then will be transported to the Petro-Canada Building in Calgary for display as an ongoing legacy.
