Community Initiatives
We Believe that Doing Good is Good for Business.
Community building is ingrained in Skyline's business philosophy. To us, giving back is not an afterthought or an obligation. It's part of the "Why" behind our existence as a company.
We believe that the communities we serve are the backbone of our success, and giving back is part of our core purpose. Our robust community outreach program entails everything from staff volunteer days, to food drives, to a university scholarship program.
Making a difference in each Skyline community is very important to us. As we continue to give back to our key charities, we also proactively search for even more exciting ways to strengthen the dozens of Skyline communities across Canada.
