Giving Back to Our Community

Over the years, The Oyler MacDougall Group has had a growing commitment to the community through annual contributions made to local charities on behalf of our clients. The Oyler MacDougall Group has contributed to organizations such as: The United Way, The Lung Association, Brigadoon Village, Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, NSCAD University and Alice House.

 

On behalf of our clients, we feel that it is important to share with our surrounding community to try and enrich the lives of others, and provide care and support for community members not as fortunate by supporting such positive organizations. We hope through our support and contributions the members of the greater Halifax community are able to seek help, participate or volunteer with the services and activities provided through such amazing non-profits.

 

In past years, we have also made donations to the Phoenix Youth Foundation, the Parker Street Food and Furniture Bank, the YWCA Halifax, The Halifax Assistance Fund and Brunswick Street Mission.

 

Focuses on improving lives locally by moving people from poverty to possibility, helping kids be all they can be and building strong and healthy communities.
