King Thunderbird Centre
“Because of ECF, we’re not walking this path alone. We’re building an inclusive Edmonton together — one where everyone has the opportunity to belong.”
– Laurel McCalla, Director of Development, Boyle Street Community Services
We are proud to be a trusted partner for empowering charities, businesses, and the broader community to create lasting solutions. In 2024, Boyle Street Community Services and EPCOR established an endowment fund with ECF to support the long-term maintenance of the new King Thunderbird Centre in downtown Edmonton. ECF contributed an initial $100,000 in matching funds and EPCOR further amplified community impact by committing $375,000 through its Heart + Soul program, matching donations from the public to the endowment campaign. All together, the fund now sits at more than $960,000.
Our collaboration ensures that vulnerable Edmontonians receive critical services with dignity when they need it most. This includes access to social workers, occupational therapists, nurses and 38 units of affordable housing on site.
