BHP

BHP has generously donated $500,000 to support the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre’s Nutrien Plant Possibility campaign, which aims to bring all of our facilities together at one central location, expand food distribution and broaden our learning and training programs. Their donation will directly support a new and improved food warehouse and learning campus, as we continue to navigate the increasing need for safe, affordable and nutritious food.

In 2011, BHP established Saskatoon as its North American headquarters to oversee the development of the Jansen potash mine. Once operational Jansen will be one of the largest and most sustainable potash mines in the world. BHP continues to be a key contributor to the community, having donated over $50 million to support charitable initiatives throughout the province. Their recent support of the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre continues to prove that they prioritize partnering with local organizations to deliver lasting, positive social and economic impact.

BHP recognizes the essential role played by the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre in bridging gaps for those who rely on its services and resources, such as access to safe, affordable and nutritious food and training and nutrition programs. BHP has been a dedicated supporter of the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre, having also donated $40,000 in July 2022, which provided essential items needed for Emergency Food Hampers.

"We’ve all felt the rising costs of living, and the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre provides important access to healthy, nutritious food, for a growing number of people in our city," said Karina Gistelinck, Asset President Potash. “Through our investment, BHP is thrilled to support the new food warehouse as well as innovative employment and nutritional education programs that support long-term positive outcomes.” 

Join BHP in supporting the Nutrien Plant Possibility campaign and help the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre create a new campus for food and learning, building unbreakable links in our local food supply chain.
