Understanding that children’s drawings and other works of art are cherished keepsakes for many parents, Hydro Ottawa hopes to encourage its customers to sign up for paperless billing and save paper for what matters: kids and their imaginations.
For every customer who registers for paperless billing Hydro Ottawa will donate $5 to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Foundation.
The CHEO Foundation’s mission is to further the physical, mental and social well-being of children and their families in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Pediatric medicine and care require specialized equipment, innovative programs and research focused on, and designed to treat children and youth. All of these areas require funding to ensure doctors, nurses and researchers stay at the forefront of current medical trends.
Hydro Ottawa will also donate an additional $5 for every customer who registers for an automated payment plan by October 31, 2018.
