Since 1972, Macdonald, Shymko & Company Ltd. has enjoyed the support of many individuals and businesses. In fact, some individuals have been clients for over twenty years. Without the continued support of our clients and the business community, the success enjoyed by our firm would not have been possible.

Macdonald, Shymko & Company celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 1997, and to celebrate, established the Macdonald, Shymko & Company Foundation in the hope that through the Foundation's work, the company can give something back to the community which has supported its growth over the years.

The principals of our firm have always maintained the view that education is an essential and basic component to being successful, whether it be in business, or in personal life. Their commitment to education is evident: all members of MSC including the senior advisors, are encouraged to pursue continuing education courses. In fact, clients are often advised that one of the most successful and meaningful investments they can make is to further their education.

Consistent with this history of commitment to ongoing education, our firm decided the focus of the Macdonald, Shymko & Company Foundation would be to provide educational support to those in less fortunate circumstances. When the Foundation was established, $25,000 was committed to the Foundation. Since it's inception, the Foundation has sought to focus on issues that enhance the West Coast quality of life, with additional focus on children and education as the paving stones to the future. Since its inception, the Foundation has supported the revitalization of the Stanley Theatre, a section of the TransCanada Trail, a summer education program for underprivileged children, and the ongoing purchase of computers for an underfunded elementary school.
