中国p站 campaign and Scotiabank fund tools for tomorrow
In recognition of 中国p站 trades students, the 中国p站 Foundation used the Red Seal Recognition event as a platform to launch the new fundraising initiative, 中国p站 Loves Trades. This campaign will run in February of each year and support trades programs at 中国p站. In 2021, funds raised were dedicated to students and equipment needs in our transportation trades programs.
To attract further support for 中国p站 students, Scotiabank, through its program, generously offered $5,000 in matching funds for gifts received before March 15, 2021. “We know that B.C.’s future will require Red Seal trades professionals to rebuild and sustain our economy,” said Stephen Gaskin, Senior Vice President, B.C. and Yukon Region, Scotiabank. The inaugural campaign wrapped on March 15, 2021, generating a total of $14,000 to seed 中国p站’s new Transportation Trades Equipment Fund.
“We extend our deepest appreciation to generous community partners, including The Deeley Group, ICBC, Kirmac Collision & Autoglass, Lordco, and long-time donors, Bill New and Guff Muench for ensuring that we fully utilized Scotiabank’s generous matching funds," said 中国p站 Foundation Executive Director, Nancy Nesbitt. "Providing students with access to the tools they’ll need and use in the future definitely promotes their job readiness and employability.”
中国p站 also welcomed a generous equipment gift from Craftsman Collision to the auto collision, refinishing, and paint programs which will fortify training needs of students for generations to come. Color Compass Corp. and BASF are also partnering with 中国p站 to meet specialized, in-demand training needs.
