Manitoba's Top Employers

Magellan has a legacy of demonstrated support for Manitoba and for the people who live here. Magellan has been a part of the Winnipeg business community for 87 years. The company supports a range of local organizations that include Ducks Unlimited Canada, Stony Mountain Community Association, the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), and the United Way, just to name a few. Magellan enjoys a close working relationship with our local military community and has a long-term relationship with the Military Family Resource Centre. Magellan has been a sponsor of their major fundraising initiative, the Yellow Ribbon Gala, since its inception and also supports the annual Air Force Run, organized by 17 Wing. Every year Magellan is pleased to host various classes from Southport and from the Canadian Forces School of Aerospace Studies. Internally, Magellan has an organized annual charity drive and also participates in local events that support charitable giving. The Heart and Stroke's Big Bike, National Denim Day, the Manitoba Marathon, TELUS Ride for Dad, Manitoba Lung Association Tulip Days, and Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil month are a few of the events that Magellan employees participate in every year. Magellan's employee-driven Social and Welfare Association plans two festive holiday parties; one for the adults and one for children. They also organize an annual summer picnic at Tinkertown for employees and their families and new this year, a curling bonspiel and a Blue Bombers football game. "The Social and Welfare Association provides great opportunities to get our employees involved in activities," says Julie Robichaud, Chair of the Social and Welfare Association. "As well as providing wedding and baby gifts, or benevolent assistance, the association also plans several subsidized events throughout the year. It's great to get co-workers out into the community, supporting local companies, and vendors they may have never thought to venture out to support on their own. We have had first- time Tinkertown participants this year, and new Bomber fans created." Magellan supports and has strong involvement in the local aerospace community, as a member of Manitoba Aerospace, Inc. Manitoba Aerospace has two main fundraising events a year, a dinner in November and a golf tournament in September, and all net proceeds raised go into an endowment fund. This fund provides a monetary award and industry recognition to the future of local aerospace excellence. Magellan Aerospace looks forward to supporting Manitoba Aerospace's annual Aviation and Aerospace in Manitoba (AAiM) Day. AAiM Day is an opportunity for Grade 6 students to try hands-on activities which focus on different aspects within the aerospace and aviation industries. The event is hosted by local companies and educational institutions to raise awareness of aerospace and aviation in the province of Manitoba. Every year, AAiM Day runs at full capacity, which means about 750 students get the chance to experience the event. "Magellan is a great company to work for," says Robichaud. "There are a lot of opportunities to give back to the community through volunteering opportunities, donating though payroll deduction or participating at AAiM Day and other events throughout Winnipeg. At Magellan, you get to be a part of the larger picture for a better tomorrow. Our commitment to community is what makes Winnipeg, and Manitoba, a better place."
