Community Involvement — How Wilcox Shows Up Off the Job Site
Wilcox has been part of Canadian communities for over 110 years. As an Indigenous-owned company, community isn’t a corporate program for us — it’s a responsibility. We invest in reconciliation, support youth programs, and show up for the communities that have supported us.
We Build More Than Doors — We Build Communities
From our partnership with the Downie Wenjack Fund to supporting local Indigenous youth initiatives and hiring from the communities where we operate — Wilcox puts resources behind the values we talk about. Our community commitments aren’t separate from how we run our business. They’re part of it.
Our Key Community Partnerships
The Downie & Wenjack Fund – Legacy Room Partner
We are proud to support the Downie & Wenjack Fund in honour of Gord Downie’s call for reconciliation and awareness of residential school history. Our boardroom has been transformed into a Legacy Room, offering an intentional space for reflection, education, and conversation around Indigenous experiences.
Tree Canada – One Tree Per Service Call
As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, Wilcox has partnered with Tree Canada to plant one tree for every service call performed under our Planned Maintenance Program. This initiative helps combat climate change while restoring Canadian forests and ecosystems.
SickKids Foundation
We proudly support the incredible work of SickKids, helping provide life-saving care and research that transforms the lives of children and their families. Giving to SickKids is one of our most meaningful contributions — because a strong community starts with healthy kids.
Toy Mountain
Each holiday season, our team rallies to support Toy Mountain, collecting toys and gifts to ensure every child experiences the joy of the holidays. This annual initiative reflects the generosity and heart of the Wilcox team.
Lighthouse for Grieving Children
Supporting Lighthouse for Grieving Children, we stand alongside families who are navigating the most difficult times of their lives. Their work providing grief support and programming to children and families has inspired our team to give with empathy and purpose.
Our Approach to Giving Back
Wilcox believes in long-term partnerships, not just seasonal giving. Here’s how we stay connected to our communities year-round:
- Hosting company-wide donation drives, awareness events, and service days
- Involving employees in nominating causes that matter to them
- Supporting local Indigenous communities and reconciliation efforts
- Partnering with schools, nonprofits, and suppliers that share our values
