Campaign 2002
United Way's Annual Giving Campaign

The United Way of Halifax Region has recognized Concertia Technologies Inc with a Platinum Award for the second year running. The award is presented to companies that have 100% employee participation in their annual giving campaign. Concertia also received the Quantum Leap Award for 2002 for exceeding projected contributions to the fund, with the final amount reaching 181% of the original goal.

In 2001 Concertia received a special award in the ‘Tech & Tel’ Division, a friendly competition between local technology and telecom companies, and exceeded original projected contributions for that year as well.

"The United Way has become an important part of our philosophy of giving back to the region in which we live and work," said Concertia's President, Ross MacDougall. "The community in the Halifax Region is better and stronger because of the support they receive from the United Way, and I'm proud that our employees are able to help continue that tradition with their generous contributions and volunteer time."

Concertia gets involved in the local community through employee volunteer initiatives and events such as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's CIBC Run for the Cure, the United Way's Annual Giving Campaign and the We can handle IT! event at Mount Saint Vincent University. Concertia also helps support children's sports through Metro Karate's Annual Concertia Cup.
