Imperial stories

Imperial rides tall in the saddle

• Imperial is proud to support the Calgary Stampede’s newest rodeo event, Ladies Breakaway Roping
• Imperial is also the official fuel sponsor of the Stampede through our Esso and Mobil brands
• And Imperial’s partnership with the Stampede extends to youth programming including the Kids’ Chuck Challenge

• More than 60 U13 girls’ hockey players from the Little Native Hockey League (Little NHL) attended a special event hosted by Imperial at Scotiabank Arena on March 11.
• Since its inception in 1971, the tournament has provided a space for young First Nations athletes to develop their skills and embrace the game. This year’s tournament featured 270 teams including 47 female teams.
• The event featured a keynote speech from Canadian hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser and an appearance by Kalley Armstrong, an elite hockey player with Indigenous heritage who is the granddaughter of Toronto Maple Leafs legend George Armstrong.
• Participants took part in dressing room tours, interactive activities, and even got to hit the court for some basketball fun with Carleton, the Toronto Maple Leafs mascot.

• Tiffany Lynn Dunn is one of the many talented female leaders and employees at Imperial – and a great example of why we celebrate International Women’s Day.
• She is breaking barriers, defying expectations, and achieving results as a mechanical first line supervisor at the Sarnia Manufacturing Complex.
• She’s also inspiring the next generation of women to pursue careers in the skilled trades.

• An exciting new partnership with the ELITE Program for Black Youth is taking shape at Strathcona Refinery.
• The partnership will benefit the next generation of engineers and support the refinery’s recruitment efforts.
• Imperial donated $30,000 to the ELITE program and will hire two University of Alberta engineering students for summer internships in 2025.
