Telus makes a donation
Connaught Heights Elementary was the lucky recipient of a donation by the Telus Community Ambassadors.
During the fall, the folks from Telus gave the school new office supplies, grocery gift cards for the school’s hampers and breakfast program, and $1,500 for new books for the school library, according to Connaught’s school newsletter.
“The Telus Community Ambassadors are a group of retired and current Telus employees who are passionate about volunteering in their communities,” read the newsletter. “We are very fortunate to have their support at Connaught Heights, and we look forward to book shopping together in the near future.”
