Sodexo establishes Emergency Funding Support Fund for Aboriginal Students at Bow Valley

On Thursday, January 16, Sodexo celebrated its first anniversary on campus at Bow Valley College. Sodexo marked the occasion with a generous donation of $50,000 to create the "Sodexo Aboriginal Emergency Funding Support Fund." Awarded once a year over the next 10 years, the funds will support Aboriginal learners who face financial barriers.   

"Sodexo is committed to the value of education," said Elric Nielsen, Sodexo general manager. "It is our hope that this contribution will assist students in continuing in their studies and play a role in building many success stories over the years."
