FCC senior vice-president of Prairie operations Shannon Weatherall said Canadian non-profit groups invest time and energy to support their fellow citizens.

“Through the AgriSpirit Fund, FCC supports causes that contribute to a sense of community and help improve the quality of life for rural residents. It’s one of the ways FCC gives back to the communities where our customers and employees live and work,” Weatherall said.
