Nuclear Laboratories Partners of Canada (NLPC) matches Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) employee donations during annual United Way campaign.
Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology organization, is pleased to announce that its employees have teamed up with Nuclear Laboratory Partners of Canada (NLPC) to raise $160,000 for this year’s United Way campaign. Thanks to a matching contribution from NLPC, CNL’s parent company, the $80,000 raised by CNL employees was doubled in size, making this year’s annual campaign a resounding success, while delivering much-needed funds to improve the lives of those in need throughout CNL’s local communities.
CNL employees have been participating in fundraising activities for the United Way dating all the way back to the early 1960s, with annual campaigns held at the company’s Chalk River Laboratories campus, and more recently at the Port Hope locations in Ontario and at the Pinawa site in Manitoba. Collectively this year, employees raised $50,000 for the United Way Eastern Ontario chapter, over $10,000 for the United Way Winnipeg chapter, and $20,000 for the Northumberland United Way. Each of these three locations will receive a matching contribution from NLPC, doubling the fundraising total.

“CNL and NLPC recognize the role that local businesses can play as a community partner in supporting those who are less fortunate, and we are incredibly proud of the way our employees dug deep into their pockets this year to do so through CNL’s annual United Way campaign,” commented Dennis Carr, CNL’s President and CEO. “NLPC has only recently assumed ownership of CNL, but the United Way campaign is aligned with our values and part of a larger community involvement plan that is only getting started. Working together, we intend to offer meaningful support to our local communities in areas that include education, social services and economic development. We’re off to a great start, and I want to personally thank everyone who donated this year through their time and financially, to make this year’s campaign so successful.”
In addition to cash and ongoing payroll donations, CNL staff participated in various fundraising activities during the campaign at the Chalk River Laboratories. This included the always popular pancake breakfast, the human resources team’s annual bake sale, the successful ‘Pet Photo Contest,’ online BINGO, and parking spot raffles. At Whiteshell, the famous Chili Cook Off returned, while employees participated in the Ultimate Burger Battle showdown in Port Hope. Overall, it was a month of fun and fundraising, all for a good cause.
