Corporate philanthropy is a key facet of Killam’s profile as a good corporate citizen and one that we have always viewed as a priority. We support a number of charitable organizations, with an emphasis on children’s and medical charities, through donation of our time, space and financial resources. Giving back to the communities that we live, work and thrive in has always been important to us; fundraising efforts return long-lasting benefits to society, its employees and the Trust.
Health and WellbeingKillam strives to make each of its shopping centres a safe and integral part of its local community. Adequate lighting in parking lots, a clean environment and attentive staff all assist in providing a safe shopping environment in Killam’s centres. Killam has installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in many of Killam’s enclosed shopping centres to provide emergency care in the event of a heart attack. An AED is a device that can monitor heart rhythms, and if necessary deliver an electric shock to restore heart rhythm and potentially save lives.
