Volunteering Around the World

Volunteering Around the World

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to curtail our in-person volunteering in 2021. However, we found some innovative ways to support our communities while still protecting the health and safety of our staff and community partners.   

Calgary, Canada

In 2021, we focused on outdoor activities that allowed for safe social distancing. One example is our continued support of Wood’s Homes, for their fall landscape clean-up at the Vermilion Energy Family Centre.  

Saskatchewan, Canada

In 2021, we focused on outdoor activities that allowed for safe social distancing. One example is our continued support of Wood’s Homes, for their fall landscape clean-up at the Vermilion Energy Family Centre.  

Mayo County, Ireland

In 2021, we focused on outdoor activities that allowed for safe social distancing. One example is our continued support of Wood’s Homes, for their fall landscape clean-up at the Vermilion Energy Family Centre.  

Hanover, Germany

On one of the hottest days in 2021 in Hanover, a group of committed volunteers gardened and laid walkway slabs so that the children for the Lebenshilfe School in wheelchairs would have a safe way to get to the high veggie beds. The high garden beds were then constructed and filled with soil. These were later planted by the schoolchildren.

Hungary

In May 2021, several Vermilion Hungary employees went to donate blood after a year-long pause. COVID-19 measures had prohibited blood donations until this point, and so many employees were excited for the opportunity to continue saving lives.
