With the passing of Barbara Poole, the staff and community members at Bissell Centre would like to thank one of Edmonton’s most inspiring philanthropists. Barbara was instrumental in making Edmonton a better community – whether through supporting the arts, educational institutions or human services agencies such as Bissell Centre.
Along with her late husband John, the Pooles have contributed millions of dollars, often anonymously, to countess causes in our area. Their legacy is testament to the value of social responsibility, supporting communities where wealth is earned.
Thank you Barbara for setting such a high example and improving the lives of so many.
