TELUS celebrates International Women’s Day by donating movie rental costs to Dress for Success Canada
March 02 2021 - 11:00AM
In celebration of International Women’s Day, TELUS is donating the
cost of a curated list of movie rentals - up to $10,000 - from the
Breaking the Glass Ceiling collection in the TELUS Video on Demand
library to Dress for Success Canada. From now until March 14, the
full cost of rentals from this category will go to support Dress
for Success Canada, a not-for-profit organization offering career
development tools necessary for at-risk and underemployed women to
thrive in both work and life. All Optik and Pik TV customers can be
entertained and inspired by watching titles from the collection of
73 biographical and landmark films featuring iconic female figures
such as Harriet, Little Women, and RBG. Rentals cost between $5 and
$7.
“At TELUS, we are passionate about recognizing the impact women
make within our organisation and in the communities where we live,
work, and serve,” says Zainul Mawji, President of Home Solutions at
TELUS. “International Women’s Day is more than a day listed on the
calendar. It presents an opportunity to celebrate the efforts and
achievements made by women around the world who break barriers,
demonstrate the courage to challenge the status quo, and pave the
way forward for other women. Through the Optik collection, Breaking
the Glass Ceiling, we are privileged to include Dress for Success
Canada as our partner in this initiative as we continue to support
diversity, equity, and gender equality in the workplace, and
beyond.”
Optik and Pik TV customers can also access a curated selection
of free titles from TELUS Originals, STORYHIVE, and YouTube
playlists available on the Community Connections channel, channel
345. Customers can watch films produced by Canadian female
filmmakers such as Akashi, written and directed by Mayumi Yoshida,
Laura written and directed by Kaayla Whachell, and The Foundation:
Indigenous Hip Hop in Canada directed by Diana Hellson.
The full list of featured titles in the Breaking the Glass
Ceiling collection can be found on the home screen of Optik and Pik
TV or accessed by channel 130. For more information on Optik and
