BMO Financial Group has contributed $50,000 to Sault College’s Inspiring Growth campaign.

“BMO proudly supports charitable initiatives in the communities where we operate through donations and sponsorship programs,” said Lloyd Fleming, vice-president of BMO Bank of Montreal, in a news release. “As an active participant in Canadian communities, we believe in the possibilities of personal growth and achievement through continuous learning and access to education. We recognize the contributions Sault College makes to the community and we are happy to be making a difference in post-secondary education.”

The Inspiring Growth campaign is the most significant fundraising initiative the college has undertaken in its 45-year history. With a $6-million goal, the Inspiring Growth capital campaign will contribute to the continued transformation of the campus into a premier post-secondary institution and support student scholarships and bursaries.

“The support of our donors will create opportunities for enhancing education and the learning experiences of our students. This campaign has provided students attending the college with the learning environment that they need and deserve,” campaign chair Jim Boniferro said in the release.  “We thank BMO Financial Group for their support in advancing post-secondary education in our community.”
