Partnering to Promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Ovintiv sponsors events that support our culture of inclusion and partners with organizations whose primary goals are to promote diversity, equity and inclusion. Our current partners include ALLY Energy, an organization dedicated to changing the energy narrative by accelerating the connections, jobs, and skills to power an equitable energy workforce and Women Building Futures whose mission is to foster economic security for women facing barriers to entry in a workforce where they are traditionally underrepresented.

SPOTLIGHT
ALLY Energy’s Best
LINK was recently awarded the 2023 ALLY Energy GRIT Award for The Best Affinity Group for its efforts to embrace inclusion and collaboration. The award recognizes LINK’s accomplishments as well as its tremendous impact on recruiting practices and employee experience. ALLY Energy’s GRIT (Growth Resilience Innovation Talent) Awards recognize individuals, students, teams, for-profit and non-profit organizations that demonstrate GRIT with a focus on driving a JEDI (just, equitable, diverse and inclusive) culture in the workplace.
“Being recognized with a GRIT Award is a tremendous achievement. We’re incredibly proud of LINK’s accomplishments in building Ovintiv’s culture of inclusivity and driving to get the very best for, and out of, our people.” – Rachel Moore, Executive Vice President, Corporate Services



Connecting Employees with our Board of Directors
Following one of our Board meetings, LINK hosted a live panel event comprising several Board directors which featured inspiring dialogue around industry trends and opportunities. The event also allowed a few of our directors to spend time connecting with employees.

Showing our Pride

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

Dragonboat Races
In late summer and early fall, our Calgary and The Woodlands offices participated in local Dragonboat race events. The Woodlands event included a ‘Rowing for a Cause’ focus, targeted at drowning prevention and water safety education for children. Approximately 50 staff participated on behalf of both offices at the respective events – it was a tremendous opportunity to meet new people and encourage teambuilding.
Ovintiv Young Leaders
The Ovintiv Young Leaders organization (OYL) was formed to provide opportunities for emerging leaders in our organization to foster growth and development, provide a forum for knowledge sharing and teamwork and promote community engagement across our corporate office locations.

Lunch and Learns
OYL hosts lunch and learns throughout the year on a variety of topics, ranging from technical presentations to personal development training, and serves as a support system for our New Graduates. They also sponsor regular networking events and coordinate multiple volunteer events throughout the year.

Calgary Corporate Challenge
OYL sponsored Ovintiv’s participation in the Calgary Corporate Challenge. Approximately 100 employees built upon our Company culture while competing in 24 events and supported our community through the charity challenge, which supported the Calgary Drop-In Centre, Calgary Food Bank and Canadian Blood Services.

Supporting Veteran Mental Health
A group of OYL volunteers in The Woodlands lent a helping hand at Camp Hope, an interim housing facility that provides housing, food, activities and therapy for combat veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. The volunteers did some clean-up and landscaping of an outdoor space at the camp so that residents could have a new place to gather and enjoy the fresh air.
