We believe that by supporting local initiatives and charities, we can make a positive impact and help create a better future for all. In this article, we will explore what sets Northwest apart and how we make a difference beyond the industry’s confines.
Charity Initiatives
Northwest actively engages in supporting charitable organizations dedicated to making a positive impact on society. Our partnerships with reputable charities reflect our commitment to prioritizing safety not only on the road but also in the well-being of the broader community.
Charities We Proudly Support:
- Canadian Cancer Society: Our collaboration with the Canadian Cancer Society is rooted in our commitment to spreading hope and awareness in the fight against cancer. We contribute to groundbreaking research and initiatives to improve the lives of those affected by this pervasive disease.
- Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation: Northwest Tank Lines proudly supports the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, recognizing the foundation’s crucial role in advancing pediatric healthcare. Our donations aim to make a positive impact on the lives of children in need of medical care.
- Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada: We believe in the transformative power of mentorship, and our longstanding support for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada reflects this commitment.

Education Scholarship Program
One of our most significant community involvement initiatives is our Education Scholarship Program – The Northwest Tank Lines Scholarship. The scholarship program is designed to support the educational aspirations of family members of current Northwest Drivers and Owner Operators pursuing post-secondary education in Canada or the United States. Offering an impressive total of up to $25,000 per year, this scholarship is distributed among all successful applicants, to ease the financial burden of higher education and encourages the pursuit of academic goals. The scholarship is awarded based on academic achievement, community involvement, and financial need. We are proud to have awarded numerous scholarships over the years, and we believe that investing in education is an investment in the future of our employees and their families.
At Northwest Tank Lines, we take immense pride in our commitment to being responsible corporate citizens and giving back to the communities in which we operate. Our Annual Education Scholarship and charitable initiatives, along with our emphasis on safety, technology, and personal growth, exemplify our dedication to making a positive impact beyond the boundaries of the tank truck industry.
