Vancouver-born writer and comedian Nathan Fielder has donated more than $150,000 US to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre (VHEC). The funds represent the profits of the Summit Ice outdoor apparel line, founded by Fielder to raise awareness of the Holocaust and to support the education and remembrance mandate of the VHEC.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honoured to be the recipient agency for Nathan Fielder\u2019s Summit Ice initiative,\u201d said Nina Krieger, executive director of the VHEC. \u201cIt is especially meaningful that Nathan appreciates the work our centre does to advance anti-racism education in his hometown.\u201d<\/p>\n
This significant contribution will help the VHEC deliver more programs to more people at a time when the centre\u2019s work is as relevant as ever. This gift will strengthen the VHEC\u2019s outreach programs, educational resources and exhibitions that engage students, teachers and the general public in British Columbia and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe receive countless letters from students affirming that participating in a VHEC program, particularly when this features a Holocaust survivor speaker, is among the most meaningful and memorable experience of their school years,\u201d said Phil Levinson, president of the VHEC board. \u201cNathan Fielder\u2019s generosity will help advance the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre\u2019s vision of a world free of antisemitism, discrimination and genocide, with social justice and human rights for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
The VHEC relies on the support of members of the community to fund education and remembrance programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
