Learners at Bow Valley College’s Chiu School of Business received some valuable support thanks to a $75,000 donation from Scotiabank.

The donation will be used to form the Scotiabank Business Student Support Network and was accepted by David Allwright, dean of the Chiu School of Business, during a ceremony at Bow Valley College on December 1, 2016.

“Scotiabank has had a long-standing commitment of being involved in the communities where we live and work,” says Matt Boudreau, manager, training centre at Scotiabank, who presented the cheque. “Our impetus is to fund the students who are going to drive our communities in the future.”
