Shell Canada Ltd. Donates $20,000 to School District #60 to Support Student Safety Training

[Fort St. John, BC] – November 22nd, 2024

Shell Canada Ltd. has generously donated $20,000 to School District #60/Peace River North to support vital safety training for students, equipping them with essential skills and certifications to meet industry requirements.

This funding enables students to participate in Occupational First Aid and H2S Alive training programs, helping break down barriers to employment and paving the way for future success. These certifications not only enhance student safety knowledge but also meet prerequisites for dual credit programs offered at Northern Lights College, bridging the gap between high school and post-secondary education.

“Shell Canada Ltd.’s support helps provide our students with training that is in demand across many industries,” said Stephen Petrucci, Superintendent of School District #60. “This investment ensures our students are prepared to enter the workforce with confidence and the credentials they need to succeed.”

The partnership between Shell Canada Ltd. and School District #60, underscores a shared commitment to fostering opportunities for youth in the region and addressing workforce readiness in local industries.

“Safety is a core value at Shell, and we’re proud to support initiatives that instill this value in young people as they prepare to enter the workforce,” said Vanessa Jocko, Corporate Relations Non-Technical Risk Stakeholder Advisor. “We’re thrilled to partner with School District #60 to help students achieve their goals.”

By reducing financial and logistical barriers to obtaining critical certifications, this initiative creates pathways for students to access education and employment opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
