Support for Aborginal Youth in Northern Ontario

 
 

For the last three years the Rotary Club of Bowmanville has had a very unique partnership with the Matawa First Nations Education Department to oversee an annual local bursary program. Headquartered in Thunder Bay, the department's territory covers ten (10) First Nations Communities, five (5) of which are remote fly-in commuities. Staff of the Matawa Education department has determined the criteria to be used in making the awards and bursaries for students to encourage them to further their education. Interestingly, they range from Elementary (class and individual), Secondary and Post Secondary individual awards.

The Bowmanville Rotary Club will provide the necessary financial assistance for the program.
