Giving back to our communities

supporting our communities' growth

Since 1986, Essex Lease has been dedicated to supporting Canada’s entrepreneurs. Over the years, we’ve assisted thousands of businesses with our tailored financial services. This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support from the communities we serve.

That’s why we want to support our communities’ growth just as they support ours. We’re committed to giving back and want to make a difference for our region. Over the past 38 years, we’ve proudly supported many community initiatives, and we have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.

Giving back with the Essex Charity Golf Classic

The 2024 Essex Lease Charity Golf Tournament was a tremendous success! We are proud to announce that this year we raised $201,517 for Kids Cancer Care. This incredible achievement wouldn’t be possible without the support of our volunteers, sponsors, and participants—thank you for making a difference!

We’re honored to support this exceptional cause and proud that our contributions help the charity achieve its goal—providing children with a fun, supportive escape from the challenges of cancer.

Stay tuned for more details on our 2025 golf classic and email golf@elfc.ca if you’re already eager to getting involved.
