Spring 2022 Update

Caring for Communities

Every day we see the impact our donors make through the generosity of giving back. While times continue to be tough worldwide, it’s important to remember and see the strides towards positive change that impact people for life. In this update, we continue to see that there are many ways to give back and make an impact on your communities. We share with you NSCC’s Giving Tuesday success, an award breaking down barriers for Black students in the music industry, a continued legacy in the trade through a memorial endowment, safe spaces being made for students and keeping communities clean by donating cleaning supplies across the province.
