In 2005, GCS Energy Services Ltd. (formerly Greg's Contracting Services Ltd.) began a donation program to give back to the community. GCS decided to be proactive and come up with a list of organizations that we felt required some additional help. Of course over the years, other organizations have requested funding. These requests are analyzed and based on the importance of their project and the status of the company budget, they might be added to the company list for the next year or they might be a one time project. Greg's Contracting Services Ltd. takes great pride in being able to step up when individuals or organizations are in need. Over the past few years, some of the beneficiaries have included:
