HOUSE CHARITIES
Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta is meaningful to Tamarack's entire workforce as it provides a home-away-from-home and other supports to Alberta families in the event of a child’s long term medical stay. This allows families to stay closer together, lifting the burden of travel faced by many families. For over 10 years, Tamarack has partnered with RMHC Alberta to support Albertan families through various programs and sponsorships.
Tamarack has been the presenting sponsor for RMHC Alberta’s Hustle for the House event for 3 consecutive years. This event annually brings many members of our workforce together as they embraced the opportunity to volunteer, donate, raise funds, or hustle for the house. The 2025 Hustle for the House raised over $220,000.
On May 22, 2025, Calgary’s Ronald McDonald House officially opened the doors of its expanded facility. Tamarack is honoured to stand with our industry peers who provided more families with a home-away-from-home by sponsoring the construction of the new Calgary Energy Wing. The Tamarack funded family suite is more than just a room – it is a warm and welcoming space where families can truly rest, recharge, and be together.
