Legacy Program

Legacy Program

We are committed to the communities where we operate. As part of this commitment, we invest in improving the quality of sport and health facilities with the objective of building a lasting legacy. Such local projects enable us to promote a healthier lifestyle for families and make a meaningful contribution within the communities where our employees live, work and play.

Through the Saputo Legacy Program launched in 2013, our Company has contributed over CDN $4 million toward 93 projects in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and United Kingdom. Each of these projects fills us with pride. This is why we are always looking for new opportunities to make a real difference in the communities we call home.

Playground, Franklin, Wisconsin

Kayla’s Playground, located at Franklin Woods Nature Center in Franklin, WI, is a highly utilized, inclusive community space that welcomes families year-round; this project enhanced the playground by replacing its aging, deteriorated surface with new poured-in-place rubber flooring across all 11,500 square feet, improving safety, durability, and accessibility while ensuring children of all abilities can move freely and comfortably throughout the space.
