[Navdeep Bains, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Rogers]
Rogers has a proud and long history with the Canadian Red Cross.

And when they need us the most, we want to make sure we step up and support the communities across this country.

Rogers has been amazing.

And through their pledge of $1,000,000 it’s really been able to mobilize our intentions for supporting communities in their immediate recovery.

At the end of the day, it’s people helping people, and Rogers exemplifies that humanitarian intention.
