Community Involvement

We are rooted in the Forest City, and we are grateful for everything it has given to us over the years. To share our appreciation, we want to go beyond providing the fastest internet at the best price.  

We like to show our love for our community by sponsoring local sports teams, encouraging its vibrant art and music scene, working with Southwestern Ontario small businesses, and engaging with local non-profits and charitable organizations.  

At Start.ca, our organization believes in supporting the causes that are important to our employees. As a result, we focus our local efforts under three different community pillars:

  • Children’s Health 

  • Animal Welfare 

  • Improving the Environment 

Check out below to see Start.ca involvement with these important causes around London and Middlesex!

Children's Health Foundation

We believe children should have the opportunity for a great start in life. We want to support the wellbeing of children and youth in our community. Some of the CHF initiatives we have supported are: the Start.ca Sports Celebrity Dinner, the CHF Annual Golf Classic, The Magical Winter Ball, and the Corus Radiothon.

The GREEN Program

We want to encourage environmental sustainability for future generations. This is why Start.ca partnered with Upper Thames River Conservation Authority to support The GREEN Program, which provides environmental education to youth across Middlesex County.

London Knights

We are an official partner of the London Knights OHL hockey team. Watching them play a home game at Budweiser Gardens is one of the ways Start.ca delights in connecting with the London community. We love to cheer on the London Knights and the House of Green! London Knights next home game:
