On Thursday, June 24, 2010, Union Gas employees and retirees hosted the "Helping Hands in Action Program" at St. Joseph's Heritage to renew and revitalize the Nick Yankyw Memorial Garden.

Each year, through the "Helping Hands in Action Program", Union Gas volunteers roll up their sleeves to assist charitable organizations across Ontario. Grants provided by the Spectra Energy Foundation are used to purchase materials for community improvement projects coordinated by Union Gas employees and retirees, who in turn volunteer their time and labour to complete the project.

The "Helping Hands in Action" program was held at St. Joseph's Heritage, 63 Carrie Street on Thursday, June 24, 2010.

In 2009, Union Gas held ninety-five community improvement projects were completed across the province. Projects included the refurbishment and landscaping of buildings for charitable organizations and schools, the construction of playground areas, gazebos, camp shelters and walking trails, the organization of clothing and food drives, the planting of trees in community parks, and much more.
