Pembina Pipeline gives $120k to Grande Prairie career collegiate
Students from three Grande Prairie-area school divisions will gain access to new mobile learning equipment and dual-credit tuition support through the donation.
Why it matters
The funding expands hands-on career training and post-secondary credit opportunities for high school students across the Grande Prairie region.
Pembina Pipeline is contributing $40,000 annually over three years, totalling $120,000, to the Grande Prairie Regional Career Collegiate, according to a release from the Peace Wapiti Public School Division.
The funding will go toward two priorities: acquiring and upgrading collegiate equipment trailers for mobile, hands-on learning, and supporting Dual Credit tuition so students can earn post-secondary credits and industry-recognized training while still in high school.
Pembina has also committed to additional educational support through industry engagement, including guest speakers, facility tours and job-site visits where possible. Ryley Hommy, a Pembina supervisor in Grande Prairie, said giving students real-world exposure to their studies helps open doors for their futures.
Three school divisions will benefit from the funding: Peace Wapiti Public School Division, Grande Prairie Public School Division, and Grande Prairie & District Catholic School Division.
