At Alchemy Communications, we are proud to represent Imperial Oil in activating their community investment initiatives—helping to bring meaningful programs to life and amplifying their impact. 🔨✨

One of these standout initiatives is Trade Winds to Success Training Society , a program dedicated to empowering Indigenous students with the skills and training needed to pursue rewarding careers in the trades.

Imperial’s investment in Trade Winds helps create real opportunities—equipping participants with hands-on training, mentorship, and the confidence to build a strong future. Their support ensures that Indigenous learners have access to industry-leading instruction, employment pathways, and economic empowerment.

We’re excited to share the latest video showcasing Trade Winds to Success and Imperial’s commitment to fostering meaningful change. Take a look at how this investment is making a difference!

In September, Alchemy had the exciting opportunity to participate in ‘Hack the House,’ a sustainable design challenge where teams of young people were tasked with ‘hacking’ a piece of used household furniture and transforming it into a sustainably powered rideable machine!

Alchemy partnered with Imperial Oil to amplify their community investments, and produced a video highlighting the incredible talent, skill, and passion displayed by these youth during the final challenge, where they navigate an obstacle course showcasing their creations. As an industry leader in innovation and technology, Imperial took pride in judging the projects, engaging in conversations with the young participants, and inspiring young creative minds to envision themselves as integral to the future of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics).
