"McKercher LLP's generosity will have an impact far beyond our campus," says Dr. Larry Rosia, Sask Polytech president and CEO. "This investment will help graduates prepare for careers across a wide range of sectors, supporting workforce development and contributing to Saskatchewan's long-term prosperity. We are grateful for McKercher LLP's $500,000 contribution to the Time to Rise campaign."

"McKercher is proud to support Saskatchewan Polytechnic and its vision for the new Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus," says Nicholas Cann, KC, chair of McKercher's executive committee. "This investment reflects the firm's longstanding commitment to education, reconciliation and building strong communities across Saskatchewan. We are pleased to help create an inclusive, innovative learning environment where students can develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed and contribute to our province's future."

McKercher LLP has supported Sask Polytech students for many years through student awards that help reduce financial barriers and encourage student success. This investment in the Time to Rise campaign reflects those same values by helping create a modern learning environment where students can gain the skills, experience and confidence they need to contribute to Saskatchewan's workforce and the communities they will serve.

The Time to Rise campaign supports the development of the new Joseph A. Remai Saskatoon Campus and aims to empower future graduates while strengthening Saskatchewan's economy. The new campus will bring together programs from multiple campuses into a modern, technology-rich learning environment. The consolidated campus will increase program capacity and provide more students with access to high-quality education and training.
