TELUS Kits for Kids

For many families across Canada, going back to school in September can bring a mix of emotions. While parents look forward to watching their children flourish and grow in the classroom, for many, the rising cost of back-to-school shopping is simply not within their means.  Every year, TELUS works with local organizations to alleviate some of that burden through their Kits for Kids program.  Members of Parliament and Senators filled backpacks with essential school supplies to families in need, enabling children to step into the classroom with confidence and an equal opportunity to succeed.  Each kit is a backpack filled with a pencil case, colouring pencils, HB pencils, blue pens, white erasers, a flexible ruler, exercise books and loose-leaf sheets.
