VANCOUVER — Telus Agriculture announced today it is committing $100,000 to support British Columbia farmers, farms, families and livestock affected by the catastrophic flooding that caused a state of emergency in the province earlier this month.
Telus Agriculture will give $50,000 to the BC Agriculture Council to support its emergency fund for farmers and $50,000 of in-kind support in veterinary services, comfort kits and network access, explains a press release.
In addition, from Nov. 30 to Dec. 14, 2021, Telus Agriculture is running a social media campaign that will see the organization give an additional $1 to the BC Agriculture Council for every interaction using the hashtag #HereForFarmers on social media, up to $10,000.
“At Telus Agriculture, we are committed to creating better food outcomes, and that commitment includes supporting our agriculture communities when disaster strikes,” said John Raines, president of Telus Agriculture, in the press release.
“It is an honour for our team to lend our support to British Columba’s farming community as they continue to deal with the effects of the unprecedented flooding to their homes and livelihoods. Our team is thinking of those affected and we are committed to supporting the community as they assess, recover, and rebuild,” Raines said.
