Community Involvement
In the Community
At Argo, we are actively engaged with communities across our service areas. We proudly support a diverse range of local initiatives, including 4H clubs, graduation classes, sports teams, fall fairs, fire departments, fundraising events, and various volunteer groups.
In June 2024, Argo (South Peace) had the pleasure of hosting forty elementary students at our Dawson Creek yard. The students had a blast touring our mechanical shop, trying on safety vests, testing out the equipment, and learning about safety around heavy machinery. Our bridge supervisor, Harvey Doornbos, also enjoyed answering their questions.

Argo (Thompson) is a proud sponsor of the Kamloops Food Bank Starfish Backpack program. This initiative provides backpacks filled with food for school-aged children every Friday, ensuring they have enough to eat over the weekend. By supporting this program, we help combat hunger and promote the well-being and academic success of children in our community. For more information visit https://www.kamloopsfoodbank.org/programs/starfish.

Argo (Thompson) has also had the pleasure of assisting the Kamloops Food Bank with their Drive-Thru Breakfast. Every September, this event offers the community an opportunity to donate to the Starfish Backpack program while enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast - all from the comfort of their vehicles.
Make sure to check out the next Drive-Thru Breakfast event on September 12, 2025.

Argo (Thompson) had the opportunity to assist the United Way in delivering air purifiers to at-risk citizens during the wildfire season of 2023. Our team drove 956 kilometres and delivered 289 air purifiers over two days. Our commitment to community welfare drives us to act swiftly in times of need. For this act of service, Argo (Thompson) received a Volunteer Award from United Way, recognizing our dedication to making a positive impact in our community and surrounding areas.
