Synergy supports local schools with contribution to assist with COVID-19 expenses

When students and teachers returned to classes in the fall, it was unlike any other first day they had experienced when they walked through their school’s doors.

New sanitizing requirements.

Socially-distanced classroom setups.

Masks in school and on the bus.

With new health and safety measures in place, everyone has had to adapt to a new way of teaching and learning.

Uncertainty.

Synergy Credit Union is grateful to everyone involved in helping the children in our region return to schools safely. To all the teachers, assistants and administrators, Synergy thanks you for your diligence and care that your students are provided every day during these uncertain times.

On International Credit Union Day, Synergy announced it will be assisting the schools in the communities it serves with a $100,000 donation that will be distributed to more than 30 schools across west-central Saskatchewan.

“We have seen the impact this pandemic has had acrossso many sectors and our education system is no different,” said

Synergy CEO Glenn Stang. “We are hoping this contribution assists with some of the unexpected expenses and adjustments associated with COVID-19 while helping to focus on our students physical and mental wellbeing.”

Synergy’s contribution comes from the Synergy Shares program, which contributes to capital projects aimed at improving the lives of people in the communities we serve.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has adjusted its focus to also assist groups that have been impacted by the current situation.
