Secretary-Treasurer's Message to Parents re: SD43 Education Foundation

Late in 2019, the SD43 Education Foundation was established. The purpose is to provide a more formal ability to raise funds to support initiatives to supplement our educational mandate.  This includes supporting vulnerable students, mental health supports, before and after school programs, meals for those in need and scholarships and bursaries – to name but a few initiatives.  Unfortunately, COVID-19 negatively delayed the ability to put into operation a formal launch, which we are now undertaking. Please see that attached letter for more information.

Thank you,

Chris Nicolls

Secretary-Treasurer/CFO
