Your Power Can Make a Difference in the Bow Valley
Did you know that something as simple as paying your electricity or natural gas bill could help support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community right here in the Bow Valley?
Through a partnership with Q-TILITIES, the Bow Valley Pride Network is giving community members a new way to show their support, without having to spend anything extra.
Q-TILITIES is a queer-owned Alberta energy retailer with a simple idea: use something we all pay for to do some good. They provide electricity and natural gas to homes and businesses, and reinvest 100% of their profits back into Alberta’s 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. It’s about finding ways to support the organizations and people who make our communities stronger, not just during Pride, but throughout the year.
That shared commitment to community is what makes the partnership with the Bow Valley Pride Network such a natural fit.
How It Works
When you sign up for electricity or natural gas through the Bow Valley Pride Network's referral page, 25% of the revenue Q-TILITIES earns from your energy consumption goes directly to the Bow Valley Pride Network. As more people join, those contributions grow, providing an ongoing source of support for local 2SLGBTQIA+ programs, events and initiatives.
And if you're wondering what it takes to switch, it's actually pretty simple.
In Alberta, you can choose which company sells you electricity and natural gas. Changing retailers doesn't mean changing your power lines, gas lines or meters. Everything continues to work just as it does today. You're simply choosing who you buy your energy from, what rates you pay and, in this case, who benefits from your business.
There's also a little something extra for those involved in our community. Members, staff, volunteers and board members of Canmore Pride and the Bow Valley Pride Network can access discounted electricity and natural gas rates through Q-TILITIES.
