Initially launched by our Calgary team, the initiative has since grown nationwide. Our branches across Canada have supported local food and clothing drives, assisted in soup kitchens, develop community gardens and sporting facilities, and volunteer at events. Throughout Cooper, there is a collective energy to give back to our local communities, which has evolved into a commitment to support those who need it most. Cooper also participates in national company-wide events such as the Steps for Life Walk and Movember. From British Columbia to Atlantic Canada, Cooper’s support can be felt across the country.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Cooper Equipment Rentals, we launched an exciting and impactful journey in 2022—the Golden Equipment Campaign. This initiative saw us pledging 50% of the annual rental revenue from 10 pieces of golden equipment to be donated to two significant causes: Movember and Steps for Life.
Since our first Movember challenge in 2020, Cooper’s commitment to men’s health has only grown stronger and more impactful. Each year, we have set new benchmarks, not only meeting our fundraising goals but surpassing them, thanks to the collective efforts of our team and the generous support from our community.
The Cooper team strongly believes in keeping people safe during their working hours so that they may return home safely to their families at the end of each workday. This is why we are a proud supporter of the Threads for Life charity and their annual flagship fundraiser, Steps for Life.
At Cooper, we recognize the critical importance of supporting the mental health of children in our community. Since 2012, Cooper has been proudly supporting the George Hull Centre for Children and Families, and their Intensive In-Home Service program that launched in 2021, which addresses the complex mental health needs of youth ages 12-17.
Each year, the Sudbury Clothing Drive stands out as one of the most successful charitable events in the Greater City of Sudbury. This winter clothing drive, developed to bring warmth to the Sudbury community, has seen remarkable success, collecting over 125,000 winter clothing items.
In 2023, Cooper Equipment Rentals proudly became a national sponsor of VOLT Hockey Canada, an inspiring initiative run by Variety – the Children’s Charity of Ontario. VOLT Hockey offers children with physical disabilities an exciting opportunity to engage in competitive play, fostering inclusivity and empowerment.
