MISSISSAUGA —Sanofi Canada has awarded four $50,000 Sanofi Biogenius Canada Grants to public high schools from across the country. Part of Sanofi Canada’s commitment to improving access to hands-on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning and education, the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Grant will help each school take scientific learning to the next level.
“Since launching the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Grant in 2021, we have witnessed the substantial impact the funding has had on improving scientific learning environments for students across the country. We are proud to offer support to Canadian public high schools and champion their efforts to propel STEM learning forward so that more students have the opportunity to embrace scientific discovery,” said Stephanie Veyrun-Manetti, Canada Country Lead and General Manager, Specialty Care, Sanofi Canada. “Thank you to all the teachers and administrators that submitted their schools for consideration to be a recipient of this year’s Grant. We continue to be impressed by your commitment to fostering STEM learning for your students.”
Recipients of the 2023 Sanofi Biogenius Canada Grant include:
- Lucky Lake School, Lucky Lake, Saskatchewan
- Académie Catholique Notre-Dame, Kemptville, Ontario
- East Wiltshire School, Cornwall, Prince-Edward-Island
- Mangilaluk School, Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories
“There are so many incredible teachers across Canada who are facing financial and administrative challenges and working with limited resources to support science education. The Sanofi Biogenius Canada Grants awarded this year will be transformative for the science programs, teachers and students at these four schools,” said Reni Barlow, Executive Director, Youth Science Canada. “Each winning school clearly demonstrated both a commitment to improving the STEM learning experience for its students and a strong sense of community, exemplifying a shared vision towards science education and discovery.”
In early June, winners of the Sanofi Biogenius Canada Competition, the other pillar of the program, were announced.
