Our commitment to local employment and procurement contributes to the economic health of NEBC and the province as a whole, with the company contributing more than $63 million in provincial taxes and royalties in 2022. Engaging with communities, including the residents who make communities great places to live and work, to understand their aspirations and concerns, is critical to our long-term success in the region.

In 2022, we also supported scholarships in professions that are in high demand in NEBC and important for community wellness such as nursing and early childhood educators. We know the importance of local communities capability to provide social services.
