We have a long-standing commitment to the communities in which we conduct business. Through donations and sponsorships, Standard Life is a significant contributor to various Canadian higher education, community and health institutions.
Investing in tomorrow 
With a strategic focus on youth well-being, our Investing in tomorrow community investment program aims to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young Canadians.
Mentoring with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada 
In addition to contributing to various Canadian charities, as part of Investing in tomorrow we’ve partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada to support a national recruitment campaign for new youth mentors. This is an important initiative, worthy of immediate attention and action, especially considering how great an impact mentorship has proven to have on reducing early school dropout, truancy, substance abuse and bullying.
Standard Life's Big Search
Since 2009, we hold Standard Life's Big Search fundraising events to help raise money for the recruitment of youth mentors. In essence, these are fun, outdoor treasure hunts with some friendly competition that challenges the mind, body and spirit.
In 2011, with Standard Life's Big Search, the contribution of our employees and other business partners, we were able to raise over $260,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada.
