Powering human connection.

Across British Columbia, our people have been a part of building neighbourhoods, community centres, hospitals, schools, stadiums–you name it, we’ve probably been part of it. We’ve met people, formed connections, and put down roots. We’ve seen what community really means and it’s a feeling that lives in us, which is why giving back is more than our corporate responsibility. It’s Houle.

Our community

Getting involved, one cause at a time.

CHARITABLE GIVING

Whether it’s employee donations or corporate matching, we strive to make every dollar count for those in need.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

From raising awareness to getting our hands dirty, we work to support environments where people can thrive.
