In honour of our 40th anniversary this year, All Weather Windows wanted to give back to the causes that meant the most to our employees. Each month, for the past 4 months, employees from across Canada submitted entries explaining why their selected charity should receive $1000. Entries were judged based not only on creativity but also a compelling story as to why the organization’s work was so important in their life.
We are pleased to say, that at the conclusion of this initiative, we have donated $24,000 to charities around the world on behalf of our employees.
