We are thrilled to announce that the annual recipient of this year’s Andrew Daniels Bursary is Phoebe Kujala from Huntsville High School. Phoebe has been an active leader in her school community and will be attending Lakehead University in the Environmental Management Program this fall. Each year, we award a bursary to a local graduating high school student who has shown exceptional leadership in their school and is pursuing a post-secondary education in an environmental science field. Applications for the bursary are typically available to high school students in early May. Board members Ben Boivin and Jacquie Godard proudly presented the bursary to Phoebe, recognizing her dedication to environmental stewardship and her outstanding leadership qualities. We are excited to support Phoebe as she embarks on her journey in environmental management, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact she will undoubtedly make in the future. Congratulations, Phoebe! We wish you all the best in your studies and future endeavours.
