When working for any organization, it’s important to know its mission and values; to help you understand why we do what we do, we’d like to share the PNE’s mission and value statements with you:
The PNE’s mission is to enrich the quality of life at Hastings Park by providing a wide range of family entertainment and events that invite our guests to celebrate Vancouver’s heritage, culture and diverse communities with a vibrant urban public park.
The PNE works to achieve its mission through an underlying set of core values, which impact every aspect of our commitment to our staff and the guests we serve. These values are:
PNE Jeans Days – Every Friday PNE employees put on their best pair of jeans in support of various local charities. The PNE Jeans Day Program collects an annual $60 dollar donation from full and part-time employees each month; in turn, employees are provided with a pin/sticker to wear on Jeans Days’ in support of that month’s charity. Some of the foundations the PNE has supported are, The Terry Fox Foundation, The BC Children’s Hospital, The Ride to Conquer Cancer, Kidney Foundation of Canada, The MS Society of Canada and Canada Red Cross. The PNE Jeans Day Program continues year round and raising approximately $3000 dollars a year.
Food Bank – The PNE and its employees were proud to once again support the Greater Vancouver Food Bank with a November food drive. All departments were encouraged to bring in donations before the busy holiday season. This helped to support the thousands of Vancouver families that rely on supplies from the Food Bank. In addition, the PNE’s Holiday Party Silent Auction and Raffle in support of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. We are proud to partner with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank for many events during the year and we look forward to working with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society this holiday season.
