Northland School Division (NSD) is pleased to announce a $75,000 donation by Cenovus Energy Inc. for the 2019-2020 school year. The donation illustrates a continued commitment to support NSD’s Literacy Initiative.

“Cenovus continues to be instrumental in helping us deliver professional learning for our educators and operating a summer reading program,” said Dr. Nancy Spencer-Poitras, Superintendent of Schools. “We thank them for their support in helping students achieve their potential in literacy.” 

“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we thank Cenovus for supporting the division’s focus on literacy,” said Robin Guild, Board Chair. “The continued relationship we have with Cenovus puts NSD in a better position to help students achieve success.”

“At Cenovus we know that when our communities are strong, we are strong,” said Leanne Courchesne, Cenovus Group Lead, Community Investment. ‘’That is why we are committed to supporting young people as a part of our community investment focus area ‘Giving youth a chance.’ We understand the crucial role literacy can play in ensuring children are thriving at school and are pleased to continue our partnership with Northland School Division on this initiative.

Cenovus has been supporting NSD’s focus on literacy since 2014.
