Yesterday’s rain didn’t dampen our teams’ spirit. In Calgary, we joined up with the Salvation Army to collect donations. Some street teams expanded their Acts of Kindness to include giving out umbrellas to commuters, in addition to bus tickets, candy canes, and coffee. Another team managed to get two days’ worth of chores in half the time at Community Living Toronto, a centre for people with disabilities.
It’s been an amazing week for all of our Care and Retail specialists.
In their own words...
“The team at the Salvation Army is working hard to organize the store. The supervisor is loving our help and the customers are impressed with our politeness… and the tech crew now knows how to colour-coordinate their closet!” ~ Gestny
“Today we’re making an even bigger impact, now that they know we’re here!!!” ~ Pheasant
“Everyone was having a great time. We even sang Happy Birthday for a woman! Most people reacted in the exact right way- with huge smiles!” ~ Alex V.
“Tech and retention teams are hammering it home at the food bank and the CHUM Christmas Wish donation depot! We have competition @ CHUM with 15 Bell folks who just started 2day!” - Sameer
Our Random Acts of Kindness will continue through the weekend, and we invite you to do something to make someone smile this weekend, too!

Love the pics. Thanks for the update Wind
For a company who's supposedly foreign owned, you sure make Canada proud...
They don't have any employees in Ottawa (yet), so they can only do this stuff in teh cities where they've hired staff (Toronto, Mississauga, Calgary).
It's great what WIND's doing. They are keeping their employees productively employed, while getting their name out. I imagine it's a great team building exercise as well. So when they do launch, you have a team that's already used to working together and morale is high.
This gives me hope that this company is truly different from the others.
As your cheerleader from the side lines I say, "Go Wind! Go Wind!"
yet again proving there's different ways to show you're a Canadian company, such as actually helping and hiring Canadians
Question: What do I need to do to get a WIND jacket? I would do almost ANYTHING! to get one. no really I'm being serious. I know you guys are not selling them but I would really really really like one. Oh... and one for Tammy as well :)
You know my email addy... hit me!
WIND has a retention team? Looks to me like those guys will be doing charity work full time. ;)
Okay, now Wind has touched a little bit closer to home. Now you have helped at Community Living Toronto. You have helped out with people that don't even have the capacity to become your customers (except the workers).
You have made me even more really want to come over to Wind. You have no idea how much your helping out people with disabilities means to me.
Thank you.
I would like to see your random acts of kindness continue after your start date. Make it a permanent thing somehow.
Wind is different. Wind does care.
Thank you.
