The Telus Care-a-Van team spent a week supporting the community this past summer. The team began its stay by delivering Telus care packages to 150 loyal customers and handing out free coffee and treats at Fiona’s Coffee and Gifts. “For every bird that was signed at Fiona’s we (Telus) donated $10 to Habitat for Humanity Camrose,” said Care-a-Van team member David Piotto. “If they went on Facebook and liked the Camrose Telus post we donated another $5.” The team also spent a few hours laying sod in back yards at a couple of Habitat for Humanity homes and organizing materials at Habitat for Humanity ReStore. The week concluded with the Care a Van team hosting a community barbecue and presenting a cheque for $5,000 on behalf of Telus to Habitat for Humanity executive director Cody McCarroll. Telus’ philosophy is to give back to the communities in which it operates. “We want people to expect more from their Telco companies,” said Piotto. “We want them to know that if they have any issues or concerns with Telus, or any questions, that we are always here for them. As every minute goes by we are just trying to increase our customer service in all parts of Canada, wherever Telus reaches.” The Telus Care-a-Van team has been on the road for the last three months, visiting 11 different communities in Alberta and B.C. “We pair with a different organization or charity within every community,” said Piotto. “We were in Cranbrook, B.C. before coming to Camrose where we assisted the Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
