I am very humbled and honored to have been chosen to receive the CCIL Bursary. I have spent the last twenty years working in the materials engineering field. I felt I wanted more so I returned to school to complete my Civil Engineering Technology diploma. As a mature student and father, it can be a daunting task however receiving this bursary is a tremendous honor, and it will significantly alleviate the financial burden of my education. Your generosity will allow me to pursue my academic goals without worrying about the financial constraints.

2018 Award
Upon receiving this award I was a second year Environmental Engineering Technology student whom was a very eager learner while be involved in student and community life. Finding my balance between the final year of busy academics, volunteering with the community market as well being an active member of the Western Environment Centre felt well recognized. Having had the opportunity to be involved in the ceremony in which as a student was recognized for my dedication and determination on behalf of the Canadian Council of Independent Laboratories was an extremely rewarding experience.
After graduation I began working as an Environmental Technician for Service NL. I intend to continue my studies in the fall of the New Year pursuing a Bachelor’s in Environmental Sustainability.
