The St. Clair Conservation Authority awarded its 2020 scholarships to three graduating high school students.
The scholarship program rewards students who plan to pursue conservation-related post-secondary studies, who have demonstrated a high academic standing, as well as involvement in environmental initiatives.
A total of $2,000 was awarded across the St. Clair region this year.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students were presented with their awards by SCRCA Chair, Joe Faas at their residences. “Although our presentations looked a little differently this year, it was such a delight to celebrate the recipients of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority scholarships,” said Faas in a written statement. “We are happy to provide support to them as they pursue their post-secondary studies in the environmental field.”
The scholarships are made possible through the help of donors, and trust funds established by the St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation.
