SPOTLIGHT
Ovintiv Commits $10.2 Million to Local Children’s Hospitals
Driven by our purpose of making modern life possible, we’re proud of the role our energy products play in fueling the world.
Supporting First Responders
We proudly support our first responders, including financial contributions to volunteer fire departments in our operating areas in the U.S. and Canada. For example, in 2023 our donations helped fund a fire training facility in Northern Alberta which services eight fire stations. We also encourage fire safety through contributions to Fire Prevention Week.
Sponsoring STARS
We have been a proud partner with STARS, an emergency response and critical care organization, for over 20 years and recognize the value and importance of this critical service. STARS ensures rapid access to life-saving emergency services for our staff and service providers who may experience a serious medical condition while working in remote areas.
Providing Emergency Reception Center Aid
In 2023, during the wildfire season in Alberta and British Columbia, we provided financial assistance on the ground through our local field representatives and the Canadian Red Cross to support an emergency reception center for those displaced by the fires.
Sponsoring Community STEM Night
Ovintiv sponsored a Community Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) Night at Watonga High School, located northwest of our Okarche field office. The event featured robotics, coding and other interactive activities. The event’s goal was to spark students’ interest and inspire the next generation of Oklahoma’s workforce, including oil and natural gas professionals. Ovintiv ambassadors educated participants on our business through a booth and interactive presentation.
Showcasing Young Scientists
We are honored to support the journey of young scientists through The Northern BC Regional Science Fair in Fort St. John, British Columbia. The fair provides an excellent opportunity for students to showcase their scientific projects and research, and to learn from professionals in STEM fields. The dedication and passion that the students bring to their projects is truly inspiring, and we are honored to support them as they move on to the national competition.
Supporting the Oklahoma Youth Expo (OYE)
Ovintiv supports OYE, which places young future leaders under the spotlight to showcase the hard work and time dedicated to their projects. OYE creates opportunities for young Oklahomans to build life skills – including commitment, determination, ingenuity and the value of hard work – that make them highly sought after once graduating as well as helping develop them into great future employees.
Helping Build Homes
In 2023, Ovintiv engaged in projects that address essential needs within our communities through the Habitat for Humanity Industry Build in Calgary as well as build days in Denver and Houston.
Supporting Seniors
In summer 2023, a group of Permian employees donated their time to pack food boxes for low-income seniors through the West Texas Food Bank. Ovintiv has been a proud sponsor of this cause since we began operating in the area in 2014.
Meeting Mobility Needs
Ovintiv supported the Dawson Creek Step Up ‘N Ride program. The service provides transportation for individuals with mobility challenges or financial constraints, ensuring access to vital community and health services.
Permian Strategic Partnership
Ovintiv is a member of the Permian Strategic Partnership (PSP), a collaborative public/private partnership that aims to strengthen and improve the quality of life for Permian Basin residents by supporting…
Ovintiv Gives, our workplace giving program, matches employee charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000 per employee per year. At Ovintiv, we believe there is a human connection between the energy we produce and the energy of our people.
As a Company, our commitment to social responsibility includes empowering our people to make impactful change. Whether it is rolling up our sleeves to volunteer in local neighborhoods or rallying for a cause, our employees look for ways to make life better in our communities. We know that supporting the causes that matter most to our employees is integral to Ovintiv’s culture of giving back. We want to be recognized as a force for good in the communities where we operate—improving lives and driving progress.

Giving to Families in Need
Employees in our U.S. field offices generously donated their time and money to provide meals and gifts for children and families in need. While the Uinta team donated a myriad of toys to the Duchesne Chamber’s Sub for Santa event, the haul in Midland consisted of children’s jackets and stuffed animals for the Boys and Girls Clubs in the Permian Basin. The Okarche office supported local families in need by providing holiday meals and gifts.
Supporting Men’s Health
A favorite fall event around the Company is an annual effort to raise funds for Movember, the leading charity supporting men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer. In 2023, over 40 employees from across the Company grew a moustache while collecting donations and compliments from their supportive colleagues.
Taking Time to Volunteer at Lunch
Throughout 2023, an enthusiastic group of over 30 employees regularly dedicated their lunch breaks to serve food to vulnerable adults at the Calgary Drop-In Centre.
