Jesse Hill, President of Tier 3 I.T. Solutions, was honored with the prestigious Rotary Integrity Award at a ceremony celebrating integrity and community service. This award is given to individuals in the Edmonton area who demonstrate strong ethical standards and active community involvement. Jesse was one of 14 outstanding citizens recognized at the event.
A Night of Reflection and Recognition
The Rotary Integrity Award, adheres to criteria deeply rooted in the Rotary’s four-way test: truth, fairness, goodwill, and benefit to all. Recipients are selected for their lifestyle that echoes these principles, their purposeful living, integrity without a need for recognition, and their substantial contributions to the community.
In his address, Jesse shared the emotional weight and honor of standing among individuals whose life stories and contributions were nothing short of awe-inspiring. “I was in awe of the things that they’ve overcome, the contributions that they’ve made, and the fact that I could even be included amongst that group,” Jesse remarked. His humility shone through as he expressed how the award, though bearing his name, was a testament to the collective effort of his dedicated team at Tier 3 I.T Solutions.
The Role of Tier 3 I.T. Solutions in the Community
Under Jesse’s leadership, Tier 3 I.T. Solutions has not just been a company focused on delivering top-notch IT services; it has been a beacon of community support and involvement. Jesse proudly highlighted how the company allocates about 3% of its revenue to support local charities, including those providing resources for children’s education, assisting women and families affected by intimate partner violence, and aiding those facing challenges with housing affordability.
This commitment to community involvement is a reflection of the company’s philosophy: “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.” This guiding principle has not only enriched Tier3’s team but also strengthened its bond with the community, fostering a culture of genuine care and mutual support.
“Congratulations to Jesse and the Tier 3 team – it is a well-deserved award… you put action behind integrity… and your values line up 100% with my personal values and the culture and vision that we are also striving for in our charity of which you support.
It has been wonderful to watch your company grow and evolve and we are grateful to be serviced by an IT company that has such high ethical standards.
Congratulations to all of you on this award and for the success that Tier 3 is experiencing because of all of your contributions – keep doing great things!”

Jesse Hill’s Acceptance Speech: A Call to Action
Jesse’s acceptance speech, brief yet profound, was designed to inspire action. He quoted Max Lucado, saying, “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.” This message underpins the ethos at Tier 3 I.T. Solutions—acknowledging that while their efforts may not change the world entirely, they can ignite change where it counts the most.
Encouraging other leaders and influencers, Jesse called upon his audience to consider what their ‘something’ might be. It’s a powerful reminder that small acts can lead to significant societal changes, and that commitment to community and integrity can elevate everyone involved.
Looking Forward
As we reflect on this significant achievement by Jesse Hill and Tier 3 I.T. Solutions, it’s clear that integrity is more than a principle—it’s a practice. This award not only celebrates Jesse’s accomplishments and visionary leadership but also shines a light on the pathway he has carved for others to follow.
Thank you, to the Rotary Club of Nisku-Leduc, for reminding us of the powerful impact of integrity and community service. Let us all strive to do our part, however small, to make our communities and our world a better place.
For those inspired by Jesse’s story, remember: every journey begins with a single step. What will your step be?
