Sleeman Better Water Fund

Protecting this resource and ensuring everyone has access to clean and safe drinking water matters to us, our employees, and our customers. Through the Sleeman Better Water Fund, we aspire to be an industry leader in supporting Canadian water conservation and promoting clean water accessibility.

Together, we’re helping make better water for all a reality.

How we’re making a difference

The Sleeman Better Water Fund provides $40,000 each year to Canadian non-profit organizations that are creating positive change in our communities in the fields of water conservation and clean water access. We aim to grow this fund over time.

Through these efforts, we support targets within the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, specifically:

• Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
• Goal 13: Climate Action, and
• Goal 15: Life on Land, which includes protection of groundwater.

Who we support

We’re focused on supporting organizations that have national reach, particularly those that operate in regions where Sleeman Breweries has facilities: BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.

The Sleeman Better Water Fund is administered by the Guelph Community Foundation.
