Community

At ELM, we believe in being active participants in the communities in which we work. We treat our project areas as if they were our own backyards. Positive relationships in the community are essential to our success. Maintaining an open dialogue with our community partners is a cornerstone of our company philosophy. We take every opportunity to actively participate in community events and initiatives, contributing both financial and human resources.

ELM is pleased to be a silver sponsor of Closer to Home’s Adopt-a-Family initiative which has been giving hope to vulnerable families in Calgary and the surrounding area. Every year the Adopt-a-Family initiative provides gift cards to vulnerable families in Calgary, so they can purchase food, necessities, and gifts.

“Some of us never think about, food, basic necessities and gifts during the holiday season, many never stop thinking if they will have food, necessities, and gifts for their family. A little helps a lot.” says Steve Konopelky, President & CEO at ELM

ELM and Closer to Home share a vision - a future where every child is thriving within the supportive family and community relationships. Our hope is to help parents and caregivers build personal capacity, support families in coming back together after being apart, and work with young people to build the skills needed to create a positive future.
