TD Bank Group has made two donations in support of Frontier College’s Aboriginal Summer Literacy Camps program: $2.5 M will go towards expanding the literacy camps to 110 First Nation, Métis, and Inuit communities across Canada, and $100,000 will be used to provide educational tablets through One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) to summer camp participants. The tablets will then permanently remain at community schools for continued future use. 11 Aboriginal communities in five provinces and territories will join the OLPC Canada network thanks to the gift from TD. “I'm passionate about literacy and I've advocated for it to become a national priority, with greater investment in making sure our youth today and future generations have the skills they need to keep Canada prosperous,” said Frank McKenna, TD Deputy Chair. TD News Release | OLPC News Release
