Every year, we engage in a Workplace United Way Campaign, operating coast to coast. Through this campaign we not only raise funds to support local agencies supported through United Way, but we offer a platform for impact speakers, provide volunteer opportunities for staff, and do so in an engaging and meaningful way.
In addition to United Way, we regularly support events such as Motionball for Special Olympics, and Challenge for Life to support CancerCare Manitoba.
At Bison, we also support numerous local charities through the Richardson Foundation, following their pillars of visual and performing arts, youth initiatives, education, and environmental issues.

Environmental Awareness
As one of Canada's largest transportation companies, Bison Transport understands that we have a large responsibility to our customers and society as a whole when it comes to delivering environmentally conscious transportation solutions. We have invested large amounts of time and energy to become an industry leader when it comes to reducing the amount of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) we emit into the atmosphere for every mile we travel.
