At Sprott
Shaw College, our school is built on the core educational values of Community, Diversity, Integrity, Quality, Respect, and Results-Oriented. Our
value of Community signifies that we desire to be active and collaborative
partners in our local communities and neighbourhoods by helping and supporting those in
need.
Sprott Shaw In the Community

As an educational institution, we highly value our community – and because of this, it was an absolute pleasure for us to support one of our long-term partners, Broadway Lodge, with new medical equipment.
Broadway
Lodge is a care home in False Creek that is licensed under the Community Care
Facilities Act and Adult Care Regulations, and works under Vancouver Coastal
Health. As a 24-hour care center, they provide personal care and assistance for
daily living activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and
more.
Sprott Shaw and Broadway Lodge
Since 2012, Broadway Lodge has been our partner in education by arranging our students with relevant practicum and training opportunities. More specifically, Broadway Lodge has consistently offered our Level I and II licensed practical nursing students with practicum opportunities through preceptorships and intern placements. By being our practicum host, Broadway Lodge has even hired several of our students during the interim license phase of their careers – preparing them for and launching them into their careers.
To enhance
their clinical capacity, Broadway Lodge requested a monetary donation for a new
oxygen concentrator, which would greatly benefit the care home residents in
need of comprehensive oxygen therapy for their well-being.
For over 7
years, we’ve built a positive relationship with Broadway Lodge, so we were more
than happy to sponsor them with the funding for the oxygen concentrator. This
action has positively impacted the lives of the residents and we are so
thankful that we were able to be a part of this progress.
