Save the Date: 2024 EQUS Charity Golf Tournament
EQUS' Annual Charity Golf Tournament returns to the Innisfail Golf & Country Club on Thursday, August 1, 2024.
This fun tournament raises funds to support initiatives that promote food education and sustainability services and programs in our rural communities. Funds raised in 2024 will be donated to schools and food banks in the communities EQUS serves to help ensure availability of food for those who need it, and that our students have access to healthy, nourishing food at school.
Participants will enjoy nine holes of golf, followed by a steak lunch with team prizes and a silent auction. Check your June newsletter for all the details. Registration opens Tuesday, May 21!
EQUS' Annual Charity Golf Tournament has a wide variety of sponsorship opportunities available for businesses and individuals interested in helping support rural food education and sustainability initiatives in the EQUS Service Area. In 2023 this tournament was attended by over 120 guests, and raised over $20,000 for the Agriculture Discovery Center. Funds raised last year through the ECC covered the costs of developing a suite of Agri-Food Tool Kits that are currently bringing hands-on agriculture learning opportunities into schools in our rural communities.
For more information on sponsorships, please email events@equs.ca or call 403.227.4011.
Here's a recap of the 2022 tournament that raised funds for Search and Rescue Alberta:
2024 Annual General Meetings
These meetings are an opportunity for EQUS members to connect with their neighbours and EQUS community, as well as the Board of Directors, EQUS leadership and staff.
EQUS members in attendance were invited to review the year past, discuss strategic planning and priorities for the year to come, review the financials, and had the opportunity to share their ideas and concerns, and ask questions of the Board, CEO, staff, and auditor.
If you were unable to attend but would still like to obtain a copy of the 2023 Annual Report, please call 310.EQUS (310-3787) or stop by your nearest EQUS Area Office and ask for a copy.
Congratulations to the winners of the door prizes at each event, and to the grand prize winners of a $3,000 EQUS power bill credit!
We look forward to seeing you at the 2025 meetings!
Celebrating 75 Years!
In 2022, we celebrated 75 years of co-operative electricity in Alberta. Since 1947, the Rural Electrification Associations that have come together to form EQUS have been powering homes, farms, businesses, and industry in our rural Alberta communities.
Thank you to all the members who joined us in August as we celebrated the history of our co-operative and the many REAs that came together to bring us to where we are today.
Members are free to purchase electricity services from a retailer of their choice. For a list of retailers, visit http://www.ucahelps.alberta.ca or call 310.4822 (toll free in Alberta).
