Caring companies
Peterborough companies are well known for their generosity, even in tough times. Two good examples are Siemens Canada, which launched the Canadian Siemens Caring Hands COVID-19 Relief Fund in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross. Employee donations will be matched by Siemens Canada.
And Nexicom recently launched its Community Support Initiative to help its small commercial business customers. Nexicom used its social media channels to give away a Mother’s Day gift certificate from Elmhirsts and profiled Charlotte Paint and Wallpaper, and the Canoe and Paddle restaurant in Lakefield.
