"Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances
to do good; try to use ordinary situations."
Jean Paul Richter
Community
Clark Builders is committed to enhancing life in the communities we
serve. Lending a hand to neighbours is not an optional add-on for
us, but essential to who we are.
Corporately, we're engaged in numerous endeavours, from building and
supporting women's shelters
to launching a charitable
golf tournament in Calgary to kick-starting a paddling event in
support of Edmonton's Cornerstone
Counselling Centre. Overseas, we contribute to Hope International's
work in capping springs and digging wells for water-starved villages
in such countries as Sudan and Cambodia. We are also active in numerous
business and professional associations.
In 2002, our team built an entire Habitat
for Humanity. Key employees sit on numerous non-profit boards,
giving and gaining expertise that informs future projects-whether
volunteer, paid or some blend of the two. Perhaps it's no surprise,
then, that we've been tapped to build more than 30 churches and other
community-based projects, using our understanding of volunteer dynamics
to stretch available dollars to the maximum.
As founder Andy Clark says, "Giving back is good for the community,
for our people, and for our business."
