“In so many ways, SaskTel employees demonstrate how much they care about their communities, and TelCare is a wonderful example,” Minister of Crown Corporations Ken Cheveldayoff said.

“Since 1950, our employees have donated their own money to the TelCare fund to help organizations in their communities across the province and SaskTel is proud to contribute to this unique effort each year,” SaskTel President and CEO Robert Watson said.

SaskTel TelCare is a volunteer organization of SaskTel employees who contribute money through payroll deduction. SaskTel matches 50 cents for every dollar employees contribute through TelCare. In 2008, the TelCare fund contributed $325,000 to Saskatchewan community organizations.
