Human Resource Social Development Canada is a strong United Way supporter. Portage IV is headquarter to the departmental campaign drive. SNC-Lavalin ProFac works hand in hand with the organizers to provide help and to accommodate their needs during this high intensity campaign. Typically, they organize and host of fundraising events both inside the building and outside in the courtyard areas. These include a barbecue, craft and food fare, walk-a-ton through the Complex, to name a few.

Other kiosks and information sessions are held throughout the year to promote citizenship and support departmental and federal programs. On a yearly basis, Portage IV participates in Portage en fête, a street festival usually held during the month of June and held by local merchants over a period of one weekend on the street of Promenade du Portage.

Portage IV is a proud participant in the National Capital Commission’s “Christmas Lights Across Canada” program. This program celebrates the winter season by coordinating the lighting of Christmas lights with all buildings located along Confederation Boulevard and other national symbols and major attractions throughout the National Capital Region.
