BASES Community Spotlight
BASES continues to actively engage in the community, participating in local events and volunteering with charitable organizations.
Throughout the summer, we sold ice cream treats to anyone visiting the BASES office to raise funds for the United Way’s Day of Caring Event, which took place on September 19, 2023. BASES collaborated with other local organizations to revitalize a Community Living residence, performing yard work and giving the interior walls a fresh coat of paint. A total of 30 companies and 150 volunteers participated in the 28th annual event, kicking off the 2023 United Way Fundraising campaign and surpassing 34% off the $1.4M goal.
BASES has also been present at several local events to welcome new residents to the area. Tracy Krull, BASES’ Communications & Engagement Coordinator, noted that one of her objectives this past year has been to reach out to new residents and visitors, specifically to raise awareness about the town’s emergency protocols. She stated, ‘”we have heard stories of individuals coming to the region and hearing the emergency sirens, which are tested every Monday at 12:30pm, for the first time, causing a sense of panic. So, we are taking a proactive approach by attempting to reach this demographic through events such as Lambton College’s Student Services Fair and Sarnia-Lambton Local Immigration Partnership’s Welcome Week to reduce those anxieties'”.
BASES also recently presented to CF Industries’ Community Liaison Committee and Lambton College’s Occupational Health & Safety Management program, speaking about the health & safety culture in the region and how Sarnia-Lambton sets itself apart from other industrial communities in terms of worker training, emergency preparedness, and environmental monitoring.
