Some of our senior staff began in the organization as security guards \u2013 an illustration of the opportunities a career in security at Woodbine can provide.<\/p>\n<p>Our award-winning Broadcast Team consists of 50 people, also across both properties. Tasked with bringing our live racing to customers around the world, these broadcast professionals do it all with skill and integrity.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its commitment, Woodbine also plans to offer women enrolled in Humber programs hands-on experience in broadcasting and security. This initiative not only provides valuable opportunities for students, but also benefits the horse racing industry by attracting diverse talent to support its core operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeyond our financial donation, we view this as a genuine partnership that benefits both Humber, its students, and the horse racing industry in Ontario. We are always looking to involve more people in this labour-intensive sport, which already supports over 25,000 jobs throughout the province,\u201d added Copeland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE SCHOLARSHIPS<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The Woodbine Entertainment Security Leadership Scholarships<\/strong> ($5,000 x2) and <strong>The Woodbine Entertainment Broadcasting Leadership Scholarships<\/strong> ($5,000 x2) will recognize excellent students in their final year of study who self-identify as female and have demonstrated passion, aptitude, and leadership in their course work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHorse racing may be a male-dominated sport, but females have long been present, and encompass some of racing\u2019s greatest success stories,\u201d said Kimberley Medeiros, Woodbine Entertainment\u2019s Director of Government Relations and Corporate Citizenship. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe strongly in diversity in the workplace, and that also means supporting and promoting the role of women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Woodbine Entertainment<\/strong><br \/>\nWith almost 150 years of proud horseracing history, Woodbine Entertainment is the founding pioneer and largest operator of professional horseracing in Canada.<br \/>\nBuilding on our rich past, we are surging ahead to the future with an energized, new vision.
