VALUES in ACTION Richardson Pioneer Launches Community Celebration Initiative to Support Rural Saskatchewan Communities Richardson Pioneer has a strong commitment to supporting community programs that improve the areas it serves. The Richardson Pioneer Community Celebration was aimed at providing significant grants to fund important community projects in rural areas of Saskatchewan, where many of our employees and their families live. With the Canadian football league's Grey Cup championship set to return in 2022, after being postponed due to the pandemic, Richardson Pioneer looked for ways to be involved in the events leading up to this major event. In partnership with the Grey Cup team, the Richardson Pioneer Community Celebration initiative was extremely well received, with over 60 towns in Saskatchewan participating. From these submissions, six top participants were selected to receive a $25,000 grant to support their respective community projects. The selection criteria included demonstrating significant support from local community residents, as Richardson believes that initiatives that have strong community backing are more likely to make a meaningful impact.
