Saint John, New Brunswick - Today Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) announced a donation to the University of New Brunswick (UNB) to support initiatives for youth residing in the two Saint John neighborhoods of Crescent Valley and the Old North End.
PotashCorp is investing $50,000 in UNB Saint John's Promise Partnership. This is a community-based and university-run program focused on enriching the academic performance of primary and secondary school students from neighborhoods that have traditionally experienced low high school graduation rates.
Jean-Guy Leclair, General Manager of PotashCorp's New Brunswick potash operations, made the announcement while visiting the Promise Partnership's high school tutoring program at the Saint John campus of UNB.
"PotashCorp strives to improve the quality of life in our operating communities and we are very happy to help the Promise Partnership strengthen educational opportunities in Saint John," said Leclair. "We export our products through the Port of Saint John and we're excited to help support this important community initiative."
"The program is also teaching our university students the value of being good neighbors and the impact of working together to address community issues. The Promise Partnership's high school program supports students who historically would not have believed that a post-secondary education was possible for them," said Dr. Robert MacKinnon, Vice President at UNB Saint John.
PotashCorp's New Brunswick operation and the Port of Saint John are important to the Canadian company's success. PotashCorp is the only North American potash producer that can export from both coasts of Canada; the New Brunswick operation serves customers in places such as Brazil, the US and the Caribbean.
As the world's largest crop nutrient company, PotashCorp plays an integral role in global food production. The company produces the three essential nutrients required to help farmers grow healthier, more abundant crops. With global populations rising and diets improving in developing countries, crop nutrients such as potash, nitrogen and phosphate offer a responsible and practical solution to help produce the food we need, from the land we have. In operation since 1983, the New Brunswick facility is one of our six potash mines in Canada.
