January 16, 2009 The Hill Companies and Provincial Government Support Education Program On January 16, 2009 Crown Corporations Minister Ken Cheveldayoff announced Crown Investments Corporation of Saskatchewan will donate $1 million to the One Life Makes a Difference Foundation.
The private foundation, incorporated in 2006, provides opportunities for exceptional students who require financial support to move forward with their academic studies. The program offers an “educational passport” to students that may be at-risk children in cities or rural Saskatchewan. In theory the “educational passport” serves as a gateway to future achievement. Through collaboration with inner city teachers, prospective students and parents the program focuses on creating a set of long-term educational goals. Once these goals have been formally established, ONE LIFE steps in and provides the financial support needed to allow candidates to see them through.
Mo Bundon, co-founder and director of One Life Makes a Difference, has stated that “The objective is to see sponsored children move into stronger learning environments, complete high school then university.”
The Hill Companies and its principals have donated $1.3 million to the foundation. In addition to the government’s contribution, the foundation is requesting significant contributions from other major Saskatchewan Companies.

In addition, $200,000 will create awards to support doctoral candidates through the Ivey Business School. Funds will also support visiting professors at both the Ivey Business School and Hill School of Business, and the creation of new cases for use in business courses. May 1, 2008 APTN Partners with Harvard Broadcasting Inc. Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) and Harvard Broadcasting Inc. are pleased to announce a new partnership to actively provide training and mentorship for aspiring Aboriginal individuals who wish to enter the broadcasting field.
The partnership will see Harvard train 21 Aboriginal interns as broadcasters at three of their radio stations in Western Canada. Through the seven-year partnership, Harvard is investing $525,000 to train and mentor new, young, Aboriginal broadcasting talent.
“Harvard Broadcasting Inc. has always given priority to developing opportunities for Aboriginal youth and our recent license acquisitions in Fort McMurray, Calgary and Saskatoon have expanded the markets in which we are able to contribute. We are looking forward to working with APTN on this unique initiative and believe that our efforts will benefit our respective companies, the Canadian Broadcasting System as a whole and Aboriginal communities in general,” said Bruce Cowie, vice-president, Harvard Broadcasting Inc.
The 21 interns will have one-year placements at one of Harvard’s stations in Calgary, Fort McMurray and Saskatoon. APTN will further have access to the news stories generated by the candidates during their internships and will jointly select the Aboriginal individuals who will take part in the program.
“APTN is proud to be part of this initiative, which will provide Aboriginal individuals with the opportunity to develop broadcasting skills. As Canada’s national Aboriginal broadcast network, we are always pleased to have the chance to help develop new Aboriginal talent,” said Jean LaRose, chief executive officer of APTN. “APTN’s mandate is to promote, strengthen and enhance the languages, cultures and reality of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada. This work with Harvard Broadcasting Inc. will help APTN provide even better coverage of Aboriginal news and current affairs, with talent from the Aboriginal community.” November 1, 2008 Paul J.

The Hill School, focusing on undergraduate business education, is an important addition to the programs and research focus of the Faculty of Business Administration at the U of R. “Paul Hill’s vision, backed by this investment, will create tremendous opportunity on our campus,” said U of R President Jim Tomkins, “As we move forward, we will look for additional ways for alumni, government and the business community to contribute and reap the benefits of this important moment.” Hill’s investment establishes the school’s new identity and also creates a unique $2.5 million relationship with the Richard Ivey School of Business, located at The University of Western Ontario, Canada’s premier business school. It will focus on the “business case study” approach to education for which Ivey has become internationally recognized. “This unique relationship with the Ivey Business School firmly establishes the U of R as home to one of western Canada’s leading business schools,” said Garnet Garven, Dean of Business at the U of R. “The Ivey reputation is well earned and well respected by Canada’s top business leaders.” In addition to advancing the reputation and expertise of the Paul J. Hill School of Business, Hill is establishing a set of scholarships to help students excel. A $612,000 donation will create the Hill Scholarships in Business Ethics.
