Vancouver, B.C. – Today, TELUS launched its 21st annual

, mobilizing more than 100,000 volunteers across 30+ countries in one of the world’s largest corporate volunteer movements. Throughout May, TELUS team members, retirees, and partners will come together around the world to give back in their local communities through hands-on initiatives that deliver meaningful, local impact at global scale. What started as a localized effort in the early 2000s has evolved into a worldwide movement that reinforces TELUS' commitment to year-round community engagement. Last year, 90,000 volunteers gave back in 34 countries, marking the third consecutive year TELUS team members and retirees contributed 1.5 million volunteer hours globally.

"For 26 years, our TELUS team has embraced our philanthropic philosophy, 'We Give Where We Live’, which is brought to life so beautifully through our annual TELUS Days of Giving", said Darren Entwistle, President and CEO, TELUS. "Reflecting our team’s long-standing belief in the synergistic relationship between doing well in business and doing good in the global communities where our team members live, work and serve, since 2000, TELUS has contributed $1.85 billion, including 2.5 million days of volunteerism – more than any other company in the world. Our TELUS Days of Giving reinforce our standing as the world's most giving company and our team’s passionate commitment to making the world a better place for future generations to come."
