Business Profile
Newalta contributing to a strong local community
N
ewalta’s 90 Hamiltonarea employees help contribute to a cleaner environment in the Bay Area every day. We partner with local industry to provide innovative environmental services and environmentally responsible management of industrial by-products. Over the past several years, we have invested heavily in our three Hamilton locations to provide safe, technologically advanced operations to our local customers. Beyond our environmental focus, Newalta takes great pride in the extensive contributions we make to various aspects of community life through two major programs related to our Hamilton Landfill – a City of Hamilton royalty program and the Heritage Green Community Trust. Together, these programs contributed over $1 million in 2009, and over $13 million since the site opened in 1996, to local infrastructure, arts, recreation, sports and other cultural initiatives in the local community. e Heritage Green Commu-
nity Trust provides grants to not-for-profit community, educational or charitable organizations in Upper Stoney Creek. Here are a few examples of the initiatives funded by the Trust with financial backing from Newalta:
The Trust has helped ensure that the Stoney Creek Flag Day parade remains one of the community's many annual attractions.
Environment: A $1.5 million Trust contribution helped ensure that the Eramosa Karst will be preserved as a unique geological feature for the enjoyment and education of generations to come. Education: e Trust has awarded over $90,000 in grants to schools in Upper Stoney Creek to purchase much-needed computer equipment. Seniors: e Trust provided funding to Stoney Creek Seniors Outreach Services to purchase snow blowers to make sure sidewalks and drives are safe and accessible in the winter months. Heritage: Trust contributions have helped maintain the beloved Stoney Creek Flag Day—now heading into its 42nd year.
