ATCO Community Symposiums

ATCO Gas and ATCO Electric have a long history of supporting rural Alberta and the people who live and work there. With many of our employees and customers living in rural communities across Alberta, ATCO plays an important part in sustainability of these communities.

For more than a decade, ATCO has partnered with a number of communities to offer the Symposiums to help not-for-profit organizations and those in the volunteer sector stay informed about the latest trends and best practices in their industry. Comments and feedback from hundreds of speakers and participants has been overwhelmingly positive demonstrating the program's success in advancing the knowledge and capacity of people working to improve the quality of life in rural Alberta.

Topics have ranged from helping communities enhance the energy-efficiency of community-owned buildings, arenas and facilities; to best practices in fund development and new trends in fundraising;
