Speroway gained the support of Vale corporation to help provide bunk beds complete with thick, high quality foam mattresses to First Nations communities in the far north.
“Recently Speroway presented a certificate of thanks to Vale for their financial support of our First Nations Bunk Bed Program. Vale has committed to help support the program for three years with the goal of providing 300 beds to First Nation reserves in Northern Ontario.” notes president Ken Dick (shown in photo below presenting plaque).

Positive changes in sleeping habits will improve learning, memory and attention. As one Chief related to us, these beds will change the social dynamics of the community because everyone will get to sleep at night!
