SSEEF grant & Schroeder donation of $710K in technology enhances our talented #TechnoCreative students future!

2019 has been a year we will never forget. Two major Investments will significantly improve our infrastructure and how we deliver our programming.

Since January 2019, Sisler’s Techno-Creative programming (Animation, Film, Graphics, and IDM) received the Manitoba Skills Strategy Equipment Enhancement Fund Grant of $210,000 and a game-changing donation of $500,000 from the Schroeder Foundation. We are looking forward to seeing our super creative students using this new technology. In Addition, Schroeder Foundation provided another $100,000 for Sisler students taking Cyber-Security.

Thank you to all those fantastic people who helped make this happen. Thank you to Walter and Maria Schroeder, your generosity will never be forgotten. Big shout out to our admin team, the Winnipeg School Division, our teaching staff, the countless industry mentors, educational partners, our amazing alumni and most important our super creative and driven students.
