ENQUIRO IN THE COMMUNITY |
| We are proud of
our corporate culture here at Enquiro. We try
to provide ample opportunity for play as well as fostering an
environment of caring for the community. Many of our team
members either currently serve on or have served on the boards
of charitable organizations including the CNIB, Cancer Society,
KidsCare, The Rotary and the United Way. We also have launched
some projects of our own.
Take a look at JUST SOME of the ways we have worked
hard for the community.

| 1st
Annual Winter Classic Hockey Tournament
On February 28, 2009 Enquiro hosted it's first ever outdoor
street hockey tournament, the Winter Classic.
It was one of the largest charity events to date, and generated
over $2,000 for the Children's Ward at the Kelowna
General Hospital.

Ongoing Event
In a report released by The
Canadian Blood Services in late November of 2008, a total
of 674 groups in B.C. were participating in the
Partners for Life program.
In order to contribute to this cause Enquiro has committed
to a goal of 15 donations in 2008. Currently, 13 employees have
participated in this challenge and we are eager to try and meet
our goal. Stay tuned for the 2008 final numbers! |

7th Annual - 2008 Stampede Breakfast
July 4th 2008 turned out to be a record breaking year
for Enquiro's annual event. Breakfast was offered for free as
per usual, with donations graciously accepted for the
Kelowna Women's Shelter, a valuable community service.
Our final fundraising total of $1,900 beat out our record total
last year of $1,500! Proceeds from last year's event also
went to the shelter. |

Community
Clean Up
April 2nd, 2008 - About 14 folks in total from Enquiro participated.
Enquiro helped kick off our local Community Clean Up month by
taking part in the 2nd annual 20 Minute Community Makeover!
A record number of neighbourhood groups, schools, residents,
business and community leaders spent 20 minutes cleaning the
street, sweeping the sidewalk or picking up litter from the
front of their business, school or home. The Regional Waste
Reduction Office provided the trash collection bags and gloves,
we did the rest.
Here's some info about it: http://www.regionaldistrict.com
This event was part of our Enquiro:Earth
greening the workplace program

Charities Win as Local Tech Company
Plays ‘The Apprentice'
Kelowna, BC (March 20, 2008) Just before ten o’clock
on a Thursday morning as company staff were called into the
board room, most were unaware of the task that lay ahead. Gord
Hotchkiss and Bill Barnes, co-founders of local technology company
Enquiro, had secretly planned Enquiro’s own version of
‘The Apprentice’ as a team building exercise. Click

CIBC Run For The Cure 2007
This year marked the 5th year that Enquiro participated as a group
for the Run for the Cure. What makes this year special is that
our very own Petra Leinemann made
a personal goal early in the year to raise $5000 herself. Upon
doing so, she also pledged to shave her head and donate the 24
inch strands to make wigs for children with cancer. Petra raised
over $7000 herself and as a group we raised just shy of $10 000.
