"Volunteering is a hands-on way for RBC employees to help their community prosper. On April 23rd RBC is proud to have a team of 7 employees volunteering at Riley Park Community Garden to help plant soil and shape garden beds to promote food security and community strength. By donating our personal time, RBC Foundation will make a $1,000 donation to Little Mountain Neighbourhood House."

“The team from the Little Mountain Neighbourhood House Society did an excellent job planning The Riley Park Community Garden and upon completion, it will be an invaluable asset to the community where the neighbourhood can gather, learn and socialize. Realizing the importance of organization, planning and leadership in the success of volunteer initiatives, Strand is proud to be the supporters of what will be an invaluable community asset.
