Princess Auto Foundation surpasses $250,000 in giving


Princess Auto Foundation has been supporting students through the ÎçÒ¹av Foundation since 2017. In 2024, their donations surpassed $250,000, all of which has been provided in entrance awards to students enrolled in a variety of trades programs at ÎçÒ¹av.

ÎçÒ¹av President, Dr. Alexander (Sandy) MacDonald commented on the significant impact that Princess Auto Foundation is making on trades training in the province.

“Over the last seven years, Princess Auto Foundation has helped approximately 150 ÎçÒ¹av students overcome financial barriers and pursue rewarding careers in many of the core trades,” said Dr. MacDonald. “Ensuring that students have access to the training they need is essential to our community and economy.”

Princess Auto Foundation's commitment to supporting trades education aligns with the organization's mission to enhance education and provide opportunities to those in the trade sector. By funding entrance awards at numerous colleges, the Foundation is helping students across the country obtain training in the trades with a reduced debt load.

"We are pleased to partner with 18 colleges across the country, including the ÎçÒ¹av Foundation, and contributing to the success of students in ÎçÒ¹av’s trades programs," said David Shnider, Director of the Princess Auto Foundation. "Our goal is to invest in and help foster the next generation of those who choose trades for their careers, and we are pleased to support them on their educational journey."

The generosity of our donors and their investments in student financial aid and support, teaching and learning resources, or campus upgrades, is vital to the success of ÎçÒ¹av students,” said Mark Ledwell, Chair of the ÎçÒ¹av Foundation. “We are tremendously grateful to Princess Auto Foundation for their long-time support.”
