CALGARY — Shaw Communications last Friday announced it is committing $500,000 to support the relief and recovery efforts of organizations throughout British Columbia, including the Canadian Red Cross, Food Banks BC and local grassroots organizations, to address the immediate and ongoing needs in areas affected by recent floods.
“We are thinking of everyone impacted by this natural disaster and, like so many, we are deeply grateful to the emergency response teams and the organizations who continue to manage the devastating impacts of the past week’s storms,” says Brad Shaw, executive chairman and CEO of Calgary-based Shaw Communications, in a press release.
“As flood relief efforts continue, we are committed to doing everything we can to support our customers, our employees, and help keep our communities connected,” Shaw says.
The company “has deployed teams of network technicians to repair damaged internet and wireless infrastructure and maintain Shaw’s network,” the press release says.
“Shaw will also continue to apply credits to the accounts of internet, TV, and home phone customers whose homes have been evacuated and will work with them until they are back home and safe,” the release adds.
Furthermore, all B.C. residents and visitors can stay connected with open and free access to the Shaw Go WiFi network where available, whether or not they are Shaw customers, the release says. A list of Shaw Go WiFi locations and login instructions are available here.
