Calling all Calgary Board of Education students, teachers, and caregivers! We are looking for new artwork to feature on our donor thank you cards. Whether it's a recent creation or something brand new – we want to showcase it!
While any imaginative piece is welcome, we're especially keen on artwork capturing local landscapes, Indigenous storytelling, nature, or the joy of kids at play.
For consideration, scan or take a clear photo of the artwork and email it to Alicia Hope-Ross by the end of February 2024.
Six art pieces will be chosen by EducationMatters staff to be used on a rotating basis for our upcoming printed donor thank you cards. The artist will be acknowledged on the back of the card featuring their art by their first name, grade, and school.
Please make sure you have approval from both the artist and their parent or guardian before submitting. All students, regardless of grade or skill level, are welcome to contribute. Let's continue our tradition of transforming our thank you cards into a canvas of student creativity!

As Calgary’s trust for public education, EducationMatters has been a vanguard in encouraging career pathways for students, going all the way back to 2003 with the EducationMatters Career Pathways Endowment Fund.
According to Marilyn Field, Executive Director of EducationMatters, “We are thrilled to see the Alberta Government and the Career Education Task Force recognize the importance of career education and hands-on learning for students. At EducationMatters, we have been working to help alleviate barriers for students and provide enhancement funding to open the possibilities of students investigating and pursuing careers in the trades. We believe student access to receive the practical skills and experience in their areas of interest will help achieve benefits for the student personally as well as industry in our province overall.”
The Task Force recommendations emphasize the importance of providing Alberta’s grade 7 – 12 students with opportunities to explore career pathways and gain hands-on experience through partnerships between industry and education.
One exceptional learning opportunity provided by the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) are the Dual Credit and Exploratory Programs, which help students start career paths from trades to health and recreation to veterinary medicine to culinary arts, to cosmetology (just to name a few) and are life-changing for the students enrolled. These programs provide a hands-on learning experience for students, allowing them to get a head-start on careers while still in high school.
Since 2014, EducationMatters has granted over $1.9 Million specifically to CBE’s Dual Credit and Exploratory Programs, including some safety credentialing for students.
The Career Education Task Force made it clear that financial insecurity shouldn’t impact any student’s ability to succeed in their chosen career path. EducationMatters donors enable many students to participate in Dual Credit and Exploratory programs, and also provide support for Career and Technology Foundations (CTF), Career and Technology Studies (CTS), and fund over 100 student awards annually. More than $50,000 in trade scholarships alone are available this spring, with applications open now for Calgary students to apply. EducationMatters disbursed over $530,000 in scholarships in total in 2023, helping hundreds of students to achieve their academic goals.
As Alberta Education vows to dig deeper into the Career Education Task Force recommendations, EducationMatters encourages Calgarians, and anyone interested in making an impact for students today, to donate to one of its many inclusive and transformative campaigns or scholarships. Learn how you can be part of EducationMatters’ 20-year history and support the next generation of students by visiting the donors page, calling 403-879-7855, or emailing info@educationmatters.ca.

EducationMatters Loonies for Literacy is back for its second year! Loonies for Literacy is a ground-breaking initiative to celebrate the magic of books while raising funds to invest in literacy programs and materials for Calgary Board of Education (CBE) students across the city.
Local Calgary tech agency, Mobility Quotient, is proudly sponsoring EducationMatters Loonies for Literacy again this year. Last year's Loonies contributed over $80,000 to CBE school literacy resources, over half of which was provided by generous community partners and sponsors as a gift match to funds raised by schools and students directly. All CBE schools have been pre-registered this year and have their own peer-to-peer fundraising pages and customized individual Text to Donate keywords.
The funds raised by students through Loonies for Literacy will be matched by community supporters and used towards literacy programs for schools in need, including initiatives like:
- Buying books for school libraries - Digital resources such as reading apps and e-books - Early learning resources and - Decodable texts
“We are proud to be involved with Loonies this year so that we can continue to move the needle forward on essential literacy programs for our CBE students. EducationMatters exceeded the outcomes we had set forth last year and we are looking forward to seeing the impact the expanded program will bring this year.” - Nikhil Sonpal, CEO, Mobility Quotient
A 2020 report from Deloitte showed that there is economic value in children’s literacy, with a recent estimate of the effects of literacy on long-run GDP per capita showing that a 1% increase in adult literacy skills translates to a 3% increase in GDP per capita. The report also shows there is evidence that children with poor literacy skills at age eight are four times less likely to graduate compared to proficient readers. [Source: Deloitte LLP. An Economic Overview of Children's Literacy in Canada]
Loonies for Literacy began on World Read Aloud Day – February 1st and will be running until World Book Day – April 23rd. With the support of parents, caregivers, community members, and most importantly students, the goal is to double 2022’s contribution and continue to build a solid foundation of reading materials and resources for the next generation.

We are excited to announce Mobility Quotient as the title sponsor for Education Matters’ Loonies for Literacy!
Mobility Quotient has donated $25,000 in support of Calgary schools, students, and teachers who will benefit from this initiative. Loonies for Literacy launched April 23, 2022 on Canada Book Day.
Why Loonies for Literacy is so important to Mobility Quotient:
Literacy is the foundation for all learning. When children learn to read, it opens a whole new world of information, imagination, and communication. It’s essential to developing self-esteem, an understanding of the world, and one’s place in it. Sadly, literacy is not equitable, and there are many factors that contribute to students falling behind their peers in literacy and reading comprehension. Those factors include learning differences, language barriers, and socioeconomic factors.
Loonies for Literacy aims to make literacy more equitable across Calgary. For every dollar raised by a school during the campaign, another dollar will be provided to a school in need through contributions from community partners. All funds raised through the initiative will go towards literacy programs.
“Loonies for Literacy supports a cause that is close to my heart,” says Nikhil Sonpal, CEO. “As a parent of two children, it was painful to learn there are students in our community who lack accessibility to books. My children are avid readers, and every child should be afforded the same accessibility to literacy.”
As a community, it is vital that we foster the interest and passion for literacy at a young age and build the foundation to be successful in adulthood.
“It is essential for individuals to possess excellent reading comprehension skills especially in our industry. Continuous learning is paramount to remain relevant in the tech sector and without basic comprehension skills, one cannot survive” says Sonpal. “Focusing on literacy at the grassroots level, in our elementary and secondary schools, is imperative in teaching the importance of learning through reading and comprehension. That’s what makes this initiative so important and why Mobility Quotient is supporting EducationMatters in their drive to create more literacy learning opportunities for all students.”
Mobility Quotient is a boutique digital agency based in Calgary, Alberta. Since their inception in 2009, the tech company has been dedicated to supporting organizations that contribute to the growth and empowerment of the Calgary community. Supporting education and arts in Calgary has been a large focus for Mobility Quotient’s charitable contributions. They’ve provided internships for aspiring developers and designers from nearby universities and colleges, sponsored productions of local up-and-coming talent through Alberta Theatre Projects, donated computer equipment to the Calgary Board of Education, provided financial assistance to music programs for students in Calgary schools, and assisted teachers with workshops surrounding Computational Thinking. Mobility Quotient aims to use the power of technology and community spirit to strengthen and give back to the place it calls home.
