Building Community, One Court at a Time

July 20, 2026 Admin

At the Edmonton Public Schools Foundation, our mission is clear: every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, both inside the classroom and beyond. For many students across our city, limited access to essential resources can create significant barriers to success in school. We support students by removing barriers to learning, ensuring every child has access to the tools and supports they need to succeed.

True success, however, does not happen in isolation. It thrives through the power of community and the extraordinary impact of visionary corporate partnerships. Over the last four years, Go Auto has exemplified this commitment, serving as a dedicated community champion for Edmonton Public Schools and the neighborhoods they anchor.
