Sproule 60th Anniversary Bursaries
In celebration of our 60th Anniversary and to help ensure continued success of future generations we have set up three $60,000 bursaries with the University of Calgary. Each Bursary is targeted to one of the major fields within the industry: geology, geophysics and engineering.
Starting in September 2013, undergraduate students will be able to apply for an annual bursary valued at up to $2400. For more information regarding eligibility or to apply, please contact the University of Calgary.
Building Community
Our business provides us a unique perspective on what it takes to be successful, and we recognize that without the solid foundation that our communities provide, our company would not exist. To help strengthen the social and economic foundations of our communities, we are supporting the following initiatives:
United Way - Calgary
We are a strong supporter of The United Way and the impact that they create by changing social conditions and creating opportunities for a better life for individuals, families and communities. www.calgaryunitedway.org
YMCA - Growing Stronger Together Campaign
Over the last 5 years we have contributed to the YMCA Calgary’s Growing Stronger Together Campaign, which will help fund community programs, renew the Eau Claire and Crowfoot facilities, revitalize Camp Chief Hector and build a new, and much-needed YMCA branch in northeast Calgary. www.ymcacalgary.org
Vet´s Angels
The Vet´s Angels helps veterans at the Colonel Belcher Centre with limited family support or financial resources. www.vetangels.org

Promoting Health
At Sproule, we recognize how important family support is when dealing with medical issues. Through our support of the following programs, we are helping make sure families can be there for each other in their times of need.

Located next door to the Alberta Children’s Hospital, the Rotary/Flames House provides support for families of children facing progressive, chronic or life-limiting illnesses. www.childrenshospital.ab.ca

Every year during the holiday season, we run an internal food drive to support The Calgary Food Bank which gathers and distributes quality emergency food to individual Calgarians in need. www.calgaryfoodbank.com
