From December 10 to December 24, K+S Potash Canada will be hosting an online, crowd-sourced, holiday-giving campaign for the third year in a row. When visitors click on the star ornament hanging from the ‘plus’ symbol on the company’s homepage (www.ks-potashcanada.com), they will have the opportunity to allocate $1 to the charity of their choice – every day for 15 days. The company’s goal is to reach a donation of $10,000 for each of the charities involved. “The holiday season is a great time to give back to the communities in which we live and work,” says Maeghan Dubois, Senior Communications Specialist at K+S Potash Canada. “We hope that the success of the campaign will grow each year and that people are inspired to help K+S give the maximum of $10,000 to each of the selected charities by going online and clicking once a day.”

K+S Potash Canada GP is part of the K+S Group, an international resources company. We have been mining and processing mineral raw materials for 125 years. The products we produce from them are used worldwide in agriculture, food, and road safety and are important elements in numerous industrial processes. Potash and salt are integral nutrients for the megatrend of a constantly growing and increasingly prosperous global population striving for a higher standard of living. This will result in increasing consumption of mineral resources. We serve the resulting growth in demand from production sites in Europe, North America, and South America as well as through a global distribution network. K+S is the world’s largest salt producer and one of the top potash providers worldwide.

K+S is putting its more than one hundred years of mining experience and world-class expertise to work on the Legacy Project, a potash solution mine and production facility being built near Moose Jaw. It will be the first new greenfield potash mine built in Saskatchewan in nearly forty years. Commissioning is targeted for the summer of 2016. K+S projects it will reach two million tonnes of production capacity by the end of 2017. The Legacy Project will mean new job opportunities for Saskatchewan workers, and new business opportunities for Saskatchewan companies supplying goods and services to this major economic development. K+S is growing Saskatchewan, while providing the potash that is needed to help feed a growing world population. More information at www.ks-potashcanada.com.
