Trades Programs Need Our Support, Too!

As a university grad with a BA in both Social Work and English, Jerry has always valued education. That’s why he’s supported several educational institutions in his will - including Saskatchewan Polytechnic. Though he never attended himself, he’s left a portion of his estate to Sask Polytech to establish the Jerry Deshaye Entrance Bursary for students enrolled in a full-time trades related program.

 “I feel that trades programs are not given the same support as university programs,” Jerry says. “When you’re looking for a qualified plumber or carpenter to do some work for you, you don’t care whether they have a degree in English, you just care how well they were trained in their trade!”
