SURREY, British Columbia, May 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
We are pleased to announce that Westland Insurance Group Ltd. will donate $150,000 dollars to support food banks across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan who are helping vulnerable people in the communities that we serve.

Members of the public are also welcome to make a donation to the Food Banks using the organization’s online platform.
“I'd like to commend the work of all community sector employees and volunteers who are working on the front lines to protect vulnerable citizens and help meet their basic needs. We are honoured to have the opportunity to provide support to these essential organizations,” said Jason Wubs, Chief Executive Officer of Westland Insurance Group. “For many years now, Westland Insurance has been supporting organizations that play a key role in Canada's social and economic development, and we continue to do all we can to support those on the front lines”.
