Cenovus Energy is helping residents of Drumheller get started on the right literary foot. On Saturday, January 26, the energy company donated $45,000 over three years to Drumheller Family Literacy.
The money will be used to support programs to increase literacy for both children and adults in Drumheller.
“Cenovus is pleased to support Drumheller Family Literacy,” said Leanne Courchesne, Cenovus group lead, community investment. “The project offers tremendous learning support to many youth and families and we’re excited to be a part of that. We strive to be a good neighbour and support the communities where we live and work.”
The goal of Drumheller Family Literacy is to increase literacy and educational supports for families and children and help raise high school completion rates from 72 per cent. Drumheller Family Literacy also assists adults, roughly 38 per cent of which struggle daily with low literacy levels.
