Saskatoon — Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. announced a total C$500,000 gift to the Kinsmen Telemiracle Foundation during its recent telethon. “One of our goals is to improve the quality of life in communities where we operate,” explained Rhonda Speiss, Manager of Corporate Philanthropy. “Telemiracle’s commitment to helping Saskatchewan people with special needs, and those who need access to medical treatment, was a perfect fit.” PotashCorp also made a C$750,000 contribution to the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) Foundation to help students in their studies. The donation will be used to transform the institute’s Resource Room into a student success center that will house computers, study programs, and other learning resources to help students earn their diplomas and certificates. “The growth of our company and our province depends on the talents and skills of these young Aboriginal people,” said Garth Moore, President of PCS Potash. “This investment is about feeding the future and ensuring these students have the tools and support they need to complete their programs.” Located in Saskatoon, SIIT is an institution of choice for Aboriginal students looking to pursue careers in business, industrial trades, health care, and information technology.
