Was A Book about Me started by Aliant?
DB: It was started by Pioneers, which is an international organization made up of retirees and working employees of the telecom industry across North America. Aliant has the greatest share of Pioneers in Canada and more than 60% of Pioneers are either Aliant retirees or employees. We have almost eight thousand participants in the four provinces. CV: What do you think attracts employees to Pioneering? DB: I would say it is the fellowship, the opportunities to volunteer in their community, and the opportunity to learn more about some of the things that the company is working on. There is such a wide array of opportunities for them with respect to the different charities they can get involved with and help. CV: Does the company support employee involvement in the community in any other ways, perhaps through United Way initiatives or other special projects? DB: United Way is the single largest community donation that we provide in PEI, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. There is no United Way
