BMO Capital Markets' Equity Through Education Trading Day Raises CDN$1.5 Million For North American Charities

Equity Through Education is a charitable initiative aimed at creating a more diverse workplace by offering support to help people realize their educational ambitions by giving them opportunities they might not otherwise have.

On one day each year all North American institutional equity trading commissions are donated to organizations dedicated to the education of bright and deserving individuals.

To date, Equity Through Education has raised CAD$11.1 million (US$10.4 million). This translates into assistance to over 2,500 students through scholarships, bursaries and job search strategy forums.
