There's a special friendship at North Battleford's McKitrick Community School between a class of young students and a group of financial advisors that is bringing out the best in the community.

In 2017, six investment advisors at RBC Dominion Securities formed a friendship with a group of kindergarten students. The advisors, which include Untapped producer Rob Rongve, wanted to partner with the community school to ensure that every student in this kindergarten class would graduate in 2030. 

I remember hearing Rob on CBC Radio in September of 2018 talk about why he and his colleagues were doing this, and you couldn't help but feel inspired!

Since that first class, more businesses and non-profits have stepped up to help students at McKitrick Community School graduate and become the future leaders of our communities.

Last October, McKitrick hosted a ceremony to celebrate this year's future graduates...the class of 2032!

I wasn't able to make to the ceremony but Untapped's photographer Matt Jacques was there...camera AND microphone in hand! 

What you're about to hear is a series of interviews Matt conducted with a variety of people who are all involved in this amazing project. A big thanks to Matt for doing so much work to make this episode possible!
