Pason Donates Funds to Calgary Foundation to Support Flood Relief Efforts

CALGARY, July 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Pason Systems Inc. (TSX: PSI) is donating $100,000 to the Calgary Foundation to support their flood relief program, and is matching employee donations to the Foundation up to another $100,000. Additionally, Pason is facilitating volunteer efforts for employees to actively assist residents in flood impacted areas with remediation work.

"In the wake of these devastating floods, it is heartening to see the community spirit and kindness of southern Albertans as they band together to help and support each other. As a responsible corporate citizen, Pason would like to do its part to aid in the recovery efforts," said Marcel Kessler, President and CEO of Pason.

The Calgary Foundation has established a Flood Recovery and Rebuilding Fund to support Alberta communities (including Calgary, High River, Canmore, and surrounding First Nations) through recovery and the next wave of needs in the area. The Fund does not charge an administrative fee or a credit card transaction fee, so 100% of donations are directed to areas in need. The Calgary Foundation provides funding and support to shelter and food programs, rebuilding neighborhoods and public spaces, and addressing mental health concerns.
