Cahill is a pillar in the communities in which it operates and is proud to be an active corporate citizen.
Memorial University, Faculty of Engineering Help Centre
and Lecture Series
Cahill spearheaded a new initiative with Memorial
University's Faculty of Engineering. The Cahill "Engineering
One Help Centre" is a resource centre for year one engineering
students and is staffed with a full time coordinator.
The Help Centre is meant to facilitate the transition from high
school to university. The Centre offers structured tutorials
along with one on one help for assignments and exams.
Continuing with its support of the Faculty of Engineering, Cahill
also launched a lecture series which will be held annually based on
key projects of interest to students and faculty. The first
in this series was held in March 2010 where Cahill's involvement in
Husky Energy's subsea fabrication was presented to a lecture hall
of over 300 students and faculty. Cahill actively recruits
talented work term students through the Faculty's Cooperative
Education program.

families and their children by providing much needed food and
supplies and also presents for Christmas.

provides assistance to families in need through food and clothing
