Penn West in the Community
As a significant employer and a large business enterprise with activities in numerous communities in Alberta, Saskatchewan and northeast British Columbia, Penn West believes in supporting causes and activities that enhance the communities in which the Trust operates. Penn West financially supports selected charities and causes, and supports employees who individually contribute their time and energy to community causes and activities.
