RBC donates $350,000 to University of Regina

April 18, 2005 — RBC Financial Group (RBC) announced a $350,000 donation to the University of Regina's Building Dreams and Futures campaign. The gift, made through the RBC Foundation, will establish the RBC Research Fellowship Program on Aging and Health, to provide funding over a five-year period to attract and retain exceptional researchers.

"Health research is one of our top five strategic priorities," said David Barnard, President of the University of Regina. "Changing demographics have brought seniors' health issues to the forefront, and research is essential to help reduce health care expenditures and human suffering. RBC's donation will enable us to further our understanding of the complex issues surrounding aging and human health."

The Centre on Aging and Health is an interdisciplinary research centre that investigates the many health issues affecting Canada's aging population. The centre is the first and only gerontology research centre in Saskatchewan and has established partnerships with health care facilities and gerontology organizations.
