Goldcorp (G-T, GG-N) is donating $10 million to the downtown Vancouver campus of Simon Fraser University (SFU). To acknowledge the gift, the university’s new arts complex will be named the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.
Of the donation, $5 million will support the university’s capital campaign and ensure that state-of-the-art teaching and performance facilities are available for students and professional arts groups. The other half will be placed in the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts Community Endowment to assist programs aimed at community engagement in the Downtown Eastside community.
“Goldcorp is committed to making a positive difference here in Vancouver as well as those communities where we operate our mines,” said Goldcorp president and chief executive officer Chuck Jeannes in a statement. “Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside has become one of Canada’s most depressed neighbourhoods, and we are optimistic that by working with Simon Fraser University, we will be able to reach out to its businesses and residents to help create a more sustainable future.”
