Andrew Hall和Jeremy Bryant

CBE遗产奖表彰卡尔加里的公共教育以及为社区做出贡献的个人。无论在城市的哪个角落、跨越全国乃至海外，我们的校友都产生了持久影响。

公共教育在我们的社区、我们的国家和我们的世界中都起到了作用。遗产奖获奖者体现了公共教育系统的工作，并代表了CBE的遗产：为生活、工作和鼓舞终身学习做好学生的准备。

CBE董事会于2017年5月15日的公共董事会会议上将第七届遗产奖授予Mealshare的创始人Andrew Hall和Jeremy Bryant。

Mealshare致力于通过让个人和企业与有需要的年轻人分享餐食来终结青少年饥饿问题。Andrew Hall和Jeremy Bryant是表兄弟，也是最好的朋友和商业合作伙伴，同时也是CBE的毕业生。

他们两人一共就读过六所CBE学校。

Andrew在就读过Dr. E.W. Coffin School、Senator Patrick Burns School和William Aberhart High School之后于2007年毕业。

Jeremy也在2007年毕业，他就读过Nellie McClung School、John Ware School和Henry Wise Wood High School。

自2013年以来，Mealshare已在加拿大各地城市为需要帮助的人们提供了超过190万餐。最近，他们还在美国开展了活动。Mealshare基于一个简单的概念：当你购买一顿餐时，你就会赠送一顿餐。

Mealshare与各个城市的餐厅合作，将其徽标放在几个菜单项旁边。当客户点餐Mealshare品牌的项目时，餐厅会捐赠一美元给Mealshare。其中大部分资金被转给合作慈善机构，让他们能够购买所需的食品和配料准备一顿餐。在卡尔加里，Mealshare与卡尔加里安居和戒毒中心以及布朗装袋为卡尔加里的孩子合作。在国际上，他们与救助儿童组织合作。

“这两位年轻人体现了我们希望看到的CBE学生的许多的成果。他们是充满热情并关心社区的个体，展示了公共教育系统的毕业生可以做出的差异，”CBE董事会主席Trina Hurdman表示。

“有时候我们认为一个人很难产生影响。每当我们有这种感觉，我们应该挑战自己去想想Andrew和Jeremy，以及他们为这个国家的饥饿青少年提供的200万顿餐。”

Andrew和Jeremy在卡尔加里长大，他们的青年时期是作为学生、运动员、旅行者和志愿者度过的。他们分别就读于维多利亚大学和阿尔伯塔大学，都获得了商科学士学位，专业是企业家精神和会计。

在他们职业生涯的早期，他们认识到了一些重要的事情。他们希望自己的职业生涯能够在他们的控制之下，并参与到能够对社区产生积极影响的就业中。

自2013年创办以来，Mealshare发展壮大，目前旗下有14名团队成员，并与超过325家餐厅合作。到2022年，他们希望将Mealshare扩展到25个城市，并每年为青少年提供400万顿餐。

Mealshare获得了2016年加拿大社会创业年度奖（由Air Miles颁发）和2015年加拿大企业家协会和Small Business B.C.颁发的社区影响奖。2015年，Jeremy和Andrew还被Corporate Knights Magazine评为加拿大30位30岁以下的可持续发展领军人物之一。

祝贺Jeremy Bryant和Andrew Hall！我们为你们是卡尔加里教育委员会的遗产的一部分而感到骄傲。

The CBE Legacy Award celebrates public education in Calgary and the individuals who have contributed to our communities. In every corner of the city, across the country and beyond, our alumni have made a lasting impact.

Public education makes a difference in our communities, our country and our world. Legacy Award recipients embody the work of the public education system and represent the legacy of the CBE: preparing students for life, work and inspiring life-long learning.

The CBE Board of Trustees presented the seventh Legacy Award to Andrew Hall and Jeremy Bryant, founders of Mealshare, at the Public Board Meeting on May 15, 2017.

Mealshare works to end youth hunger by making it simple for individuals and businesses to share meals with youth in need. Andrew Hall and Jeremy Bryant are cousins, best friends and business partners, as well as being CBE graduates.

Between them, they have attended six CBE schools.

Andrew graduated in 2007 after attending Dr. E.W. Coffin School, Senator Patrick Burns School and William Aberhart High school.

Jeremy also graduated in 2007 after attending Nellie McClung School, John Ware School and Henry Wise Wood High School.

Since 2013, Mealshare has provided over 1.9 million meals to people in need in cities across Canada, and recently in the U.S. Mealshare is based on a simple concept: when you buy a meal, you give a meal.

Mealshare partners with restaurants in various cities by placing its logo next to a few menu items. When a customer orders a Mealshare-branded item, the restaurant contributes one dollar to Mealshare. Most of those funds are forwarded to a partner charity, allowing them to purchase the groceries and ingredients needed for one meal. In Calgary, Mealshare partners with the Calgary Drop-in and Rehab Center and Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids. Internationally, they partner with Save the Children.

“These young men embody many of the results we want to see in our CBE students. They are passionate, community-minded individuals who demonstrate the difference that can be made by graduates of the public education system,” said Trina Hurdman, Board Chair, CBE.

“Sometimes we think that it’s too difficult for any one person to make a difference. Whenever we feel that way, we should challenge ourselves to think about Andrew and Jeremy, and the two million meals they have provided to hungry youth in this country.”

Andrew and Jeremy grew up in Calgary and spent their youth as students, athletes, travellers and volunteers. They attended the University of Victoria and University of Alberta respectively, where they both earned Bachelor of Commerce degrees with specializations in Entrepreneurship and Accounting.

Early in their corporate careers, they recognized something important. They wanted their careers to be in their control and to be engaged in employment where they could make a positive difference in their community.

Since launching in 2013 with just two restaurants, Mealshare now employs a team of 14 and has partnered with over 325 restaurants. By 2022, they want to expand Mealshare to 25 cities and to provide over four million meals to youth each and every year.

Mealshare has received the 2016 Canadian Social Venture of the Year Award (by Air Miles) and the 2015 Community Impact Awards from the Calgary Chamber of Commerce and Small Business B.C. Jeremy and Andrew were also recognized as two of Canada’s Top 30 under 30 Sustainability Leaders by Corporate Knights Magazine in 2015.

Congratulations, Jeremy Bryant and Andrew Hall! We are proud that you are part of the Calgary Board of Education legacy.
