Bob Cockerill, President of Schawk Canada Inc. presented an undisclosed donation to the Canadian Flexographic Training Committee (CFTC). Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Schawk Canada, self-described as a Brand Point Management company, is heavily involved in providing prepress services for flexography-based printing.
Schawk Canada provides an annual donation to CFTC to support that organization’s efforts in flexography-focused educational programs and scholarships. CFTC’s most visible role is with the Flexo Night School program at Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary, based in Mississauga. As well, CFTC is heavily involved in Phoenix Challenge Foundation, which produces an annual high school- and college-based flexographic skills competition.
Every year, Canadian students do very well in the international Phoenix Challenge. In the most recent competition, Canadian high-school students from Gordon Graydon, Hannah Plavnick and Stephanie Hammond, celebrated a first-place showing, as well as a third-place finish from Grant Uzukawa and Abdul Murad.
