Strawberry Hill RBC branch manager Jacky Gill presents a donation of $40,000 to Surrey Board of Education chairperson Laurae McNally for the RBC Take P-Art program.

Since 2005, the RBC Foundation has contributed $370,000 to Take P-Art, which provides 6,000 inner-city students the opportunity to participate in artistic creation, event planning, backstage operations and the experience of watching and performing in a top-level theatrical event.

Ten classes are selected to receive the workshops at their schools.
