Educational Partnerships

For the past seven years, Compton has formed a Corporate/Educational Partnership with a Calgary Board of Education Public School. During the 2006-2007 school year Compton partnered with two schools: Buchanan Elementary School in Calgary and École Joe Clark Elementary School in High River.  Each partnership supported a variety of initiatives as identified by the staff, parents, and students of each school. Judith Edge, Principal of Buchanan Elementary said, “Your donation is making a tremendous difference to our students and staff.”  We also supported our Calgary partner school with Compton’s Student Ambassador Program, which sponsored three university students to work with the students and staff at Buchanan during May and June of 2007. 

 

Compton has formed two Educational Partnerships for the 2007-2008 school year. These partnerships will once again focus on enabling and assisting the staff at each school as they work to enhance the quality of educational opportunities and experiences for the students at Chief Justice Milvain Elementary School in Calgary and Prairieview Elementary School in Vulcan, Alberta.

 

Community Participation
Compton’s Corporate Sponsorship and Donation Programs contribute to charities and community endeavors that enhance the quality of life in the areas where we are active. Since 2005 Compton has sponsored YMCA Calgary Leaders in Training Program. This leadership development program has given hundreds of junior high school aged students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills.

 

Compton supported the United Way and S.T.A.R.S during 2007 and, as well, we made contributions to well over one hundred not-for-profit organizations, athletic teams, schools, and community-based organizations in areas such as High River, Okotoks, Calgary, Drayton Valley, Grande Prairie, Vulcan, and Nanton, to name only a few.  Compton is committed to assisting in the enhancement of the communities in which we operate.
