Wolseley Canada Indigenous Student Bursary Reaches $150,000 Milestone
29 Setembro 2023 - 12:00PM
Wolseley Canada’s Indigenous Student Bursary reaches $150,000
milestone in its third year providing support for Indigenous
students pursuing post-secondary education.
Launched in 2021 in partnership with Indspire as part of
Wolseley Canada’s recognition of Truth and Reconciliation Day, the
Indigenous Student Bursary is part of the Building Brighter Futures
program. It provides funding for individual First Nation, Inuit and
Métis students enrolled in full- and part-time studies in college,
university, skilled trades, apprenticeships and technology
programs.
“It is important to Wolseley Canada that we give back to the
communities where we work and live,” says Kim Forgues, Vice
President of Human Resources at Wolseley Canada. “We feel strongly
that it is our corporate responsibility to help build stronger
communities, and a key part of that is creating opportunities for
young people to start a career. With this bursary program, we
reflect on history and consider how we can better support
Indigenous youth for a brighter future.”
Wolseley Canada annually contributes $25,000 to the fund, which
the Government of Canada matches for a total of $50,000 each year.

Student Bursary or to apply, visit indspirefunding.ca. Applications
