We give back to the communities in which we live and work. Individually, and as a team, we support several causes and contribute to a variety of organizations. The community benefits, and we grow as individuals and a team as a result.
Here are a few of the initiatives we are proud to support:
RMHC – Ronald McDonald House Canada – Atlantic
Our team had so much fun at RMHC Atlantic where we cooked Maple Curry Chicken Penne for the families! Swipe to see the final product! BIG thank you to Daisy and everyone at RMHC Atlantic! Shout out to @andyseastcoastkitchen_ for the great meal idea! We cooked this delicious recipe for the families at @rmhcatlantic. Make sure you give both pages a follow!

Snookie Socks
Shoes protect the feet, but wool #SnookieSocks can save them!
When Ken Snook and Luke MacDonald started this program 7 years ago, there were 284 known unhoused citizens in the HRM. By July 2024, that number had risen to 1,319. Their original goal was to provide approximately 2 pairs for all 284 individuals (they aimed for 500 pairs). They managed to give away just over 600 pairs. Sadly, their new goal is 2,500 pairs ($10,000).
They are not a charity (yet), just a couple of freelance do-gooders. They are incredibly grateful to Aerobics First, the home of the program, as well as Global News, Lindsay Construction, Nine Locks Brewing Co., Ross Elliott and Amanda Penney who have helped amplify and support their grassroots effort to protect feet from trench foot and amputation.
Elliott Chaulk is thrilled to participate and make a difference!

Hundred attend the sale and enjoy a meal and community fellowship. Crowds are seated but look at the lineup to purchase food.
The baked goods. So delicious! They sell out in minutes, and we mean minutes.
Why bake for Christmas. Buy the goodies here and support a worthy cause.
Teen Challenge
The Atlantic Men's Centre is a 12-month in-residence alcohol and drug addiction rehabilitation program located near Memramcook, New Brunswick. They offer help and hope to those struggling with alcoholism and/or addiction to other drugs. Those in addiction, their family and friends, begin their restoration at Teen Challenge.
Elliott Chaulk partnered with two other community partners to provide a woodworking shop complete with woodworking tools.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become one of the largest non-governmental direct providers of social services in the country. The Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and every day in 400 communities across Canada and more than 130 countries around the world.
This holiday season, Elliott Chaulk Private Wealth Management was a proud sponsor.
IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s
The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's is Canada’s biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, taking place in more than 400 communities across the country. In 2019, Canadians participating in the Walk raised an amazing $6.2 million! Funds raised will go toward programs and services in our community that improve quality of life for people living with dementia and their families, as well as support awareness and education about dementia.
Loads of Love
This year’s McJoyful Christmas in Ukraine, was a massive success! Over 4,000 beautiful children, many in bomb shelters, were treated to an amazing drama celebrating Christmas. Every child received a Happy Meal, did an awesome craft, and took a year’s supply of vitamins home or to their orphanage.
IG Empower Your Tomorrow
As a Canadian company, we believe in giving back in ways that can make real and meaningful differences in communities from coast-to-coast. Our commitment starts with IG Empower Your Tomorrow, a program dedicated to increasing financial confidence of all Canadians.
By using our expertise in financial planning, we deliver foundational financial education and resources to Canadians who need it most. Through this work, we empower Indigenous Peoples, newcomers, seniors and youth to manage their personal finances with confidence. It’s these kinds of positive changes that help create stronger communities and a better future for everyone.
